All full-time staff should apply for a corporate card at least 4 weeks prior to overseas travel. It is not CSSE policy to issue AMEX cards to post-graduate students. When I filed a claim the money was directly deposited into my bank account. The money reimbursed for claims will not appear on Group Certificates and is not taxed. There is a direct interface between the claims system and the payroll system.
Money is transferred directly to the main bank account specified by each staff member.
A printed notice is sent to the home address on the day following the payment. In future, this may be reviewed and changed to internal mail or e-mail.
