In this article we will explain how your Clients can manage their Staff Expenses

First, what are Staff Expenses?

Staff Expenses are reimbursable items that your staff has spent on using personal expenses that will be claimed against the company. This includes meal claims, taxi receipts, flight bookings etc.

There are 3 ways to submit Staff Expenses:

  1. Submit by uploading documents to the Client Portal.
  2. Email the receipt to personalised capture emails.
  3. Submit via WhatsApp Integration

Upload Method

1. Head over to “Staff Expenses” in the Client Portal and click the ‘+’ icon.

2. Select a receipt to upload.

3. Once uploaded, you should get a friendly confirmation, similar to the green dialogue box below. Please allow 1-2 working days for the Staff Expenses to be processed.

4. Notes can be added by clicking on note icon.

For instance “taxi for transport to airport”, “client dinner” etc. Receipts can also be viewed for each individual expense.

This allows a complete audit trail

5. The Approver authorises the respective receipts by clicking on ‘Authorise’.

6. Once authorised, payment can be made by logging in to your company’s bank account and making the necessary payment.
