How to identify reimbursable expenses
PURPOSE
Reimbursable expenses are business costs that may be paid back to the employee when properly documented and approved.
COMMON EXAMPLES
Travel, meals, lodging, mileage, supplies, training, shipping, or other approved business costs may be reimbursable depending on policy.
CHECK BEFORE SPENDING
Confirm whether the expense is allowed, whether preapproval is needed, and what documentation is required.
NOT ALWAYS REIMBURSABLE
Personal items, fines, upgrades, unapproved purchases, or missing receipts may not qualify.
BEST PRACTICE
When in doubt, ask before spending.
