Cell Phone Reimbursement - FAQs

The cell phone allowance agreement and procedures form can be found online in CIS.

As long as the eForm is fully approved and saved into PeopleSoft by the 14th of the month, you can expect to receive your allowance on the 22nd of the month it is in effect.

You will see your allowance on the 22nd of the month as a Direct Deposit. You will not receive a paper advice on the allowance. It is available online only through the Campus Information Services (CIS) under your Payroll information.
