Expense Reimbursement Policy

Business expenses must be submitted through the expense management portal
within 30 days of the expenditure. Receipts are required for all expenses
exceeding $25. Expenses over $500 require pre-approval from the department
head before the expenditure is incurred.

Approved expense categories include business travel (airfare, lodging,
ground transportation), client entertainment, professional development
(conferences, training materials), office supplies for remote workers,
and mileage reimbursement at the current IRS standard rate.

Travel booking must use the company's preferred travel agency for airfare
and hotel reservations. Economy class is standard for domestic flights;
business class may be approved for international flights exceeding six
hours. Hotel accommodations should not exceed the GSA per diem rate for
the destination city without prior approval.

Meal expenses during business travel are reimbursed up to $75 per day
for domestic travel and $100 per day for international travel. Alcohol
is not reimbursable. Tips are reimbursable up to 20% of the pre-tax
meal cost.

The reimbursement timeline targets 10 business days from submission for
approved expenses. Incomplete submissions are returned to the employee
with specific deficiency notes. Repeated policy violations may result
in temporary suspension of the corporate credit card and a required
refresher training session. Direct deposits are processed in the next
available payroll cycle following expense approval.
