replaces the ERF (Entertainment Reporting Form),
Post Travel Expense Form
Direct Payment Form for most situations involving UCSC employees.
The Post Travel Expense Form will still be available for use for students and non-UCSC affiliates, including visiting individuals. The Direct Pay Form will still be available for participant support payments, honoraria, and direct payments to vendors.
One can also designate a "delegate" if someone will be processing your reimbursements on your behalf.
Please contact cruzfly-help@ucsc.edu with any system-related questions.
A Direct Pay form may be used as a way to be reimbursed for non-travel / non-entertainment expenses. Example: you purchase something with your own funds for your office, you would then use a Direct Pay to get reimbursed. Please refer to the Publication and Journal Charge page for an example of a Direct Pay.
