Hush Trip
A hush trip occurs when employees travel to another location without employer approval, often while working remotely, posing challenges for expense management. These unapproved trips can lead to non-compliant claims, unauthorized expenses, and duty-of-care risks. Systems detect hush trips by flagging unusual expense patterns or unapproved bookings, enforcing pre-trip approvals to prevent claims. Reports highlight off-platform travel for analysis, and policy nudges guide compliant behavior. This ensures cost control, enhances security, and maintains compliance by aligning travel with approved business purposes.
