Your employees may incur expenses on your organisation's behalf. You can pay reimbursements from the Payroll Dashboard. You can also categorise the expense claims as per standard reimbursement categories.
An employee can
from their Dashboard whenever they pay for organisational expenses from their own pockets.Once the admin/manager of the employee approves the reimbursement request, you can reimburse the expense in two ways:
- With payroll: Payroll automatically includes all approved reimbursements that are pending for payment whenever payroll is executed.
- Adhoc-basis: You can choose to pay approved reimbursements at any time, independent of payroll execution.
To set this up:
- Log in to your .
- Navigate to Settings → Reimbursements Setup.
- Choose between Payroll and Adhoc modes.
To view any pending flexible benefits reimbursements:
- Log in to the .
- Navigate to Reports → Reimbursements.
