Business Expense Reimbursement

Look, this is is not intended to provide all of the information you need to ensure that your practices regarding reimbursed business expenses are appropriate. However, we wanted to provide some simple tips to accompany this Simple Expense Report Template.

Here are a few things to consider:

  • Make sure you and your employees understand the basic requirements.  This will help ensure your employees are providing the information that is helpful.
  • To be valid, the expenses incurred by the employee must be work related.  This means that the expense is incurred by the employee while performing their duties as an employee.
  • The expenses must be provided to the employer within a reasonable time period.  These should be properly supported.  That means an expense report with related receipts attached.
  • Any excess should be given back to the employer.

Provide this simple template to your employees along with some basic training.  You’ll be well on your way to keeping your expenses organized.
