Who is eligible to receive Expense Reimbursement Direct Deposit (ERDD)?

NOTE: As of October 14th, 2025 all employee and visitor (i.e. in CAD/USD, non-employee, non-student) expense reports should be processed in Concur. Please see this guide for more information.


ERDD (Web and FIS) will be phased out shortly. Starting December 19, 2025, the “Create New Claim” button on ERDD web will be disabled, meaning no new claims can be initiated after that date. Existing ERDD on the web claims may still be processed and Business Officers can also continue to process ERDD claims in the backend, using transaction code ZER01, until February 2, 2026.

After February 2, 2026, ERDD (on the web and ZER01) will no longer be available for any claim activity, and all expense reimbursement claims will need to be submitted through Concur going forward. Any claims in ERDD on the web that have not been submitted and processed, will need to be redone in Concur.


Employees with the following HRIS status and valid Banking Data are eligible for ERDD:

  • Employment Status:
    • Active
  • Personnel Area:
    • 0001 – Appointed
    • 0002 – Non-appointed
    • 0003 – Students and Fellows
    • 0004 – External Appointed

A nightly vendor update is run to check employee status and create a vendor number for any eligible appointed employees . The nightly process updates all existing vendor accounts with any changes in status or banking information through HRIS.

 

ERDD’s for Casual Employees

Processing of ERDD transactions for casual employees is the same as for appointed employees with the following two exceptions:

  • ERDD vendor numbers for casual employees will NOT be automatically created.
  • When processing the first ERDD transaction for a casual employee, you will need to manually create the vendor account in FIS using the “Create/Update Vendor” button.

NOTE: This step can not be done using the ERDD on the Web screen and is only required prior to the first ERDD posting for each casual employee.

Please note that employee bank information used for expense reimbursement direct deposit is the same as the payroll direct deposit account in HRIS and can not be re-directed.
