Non-Reimbursable Expense
Non-reimbursable expenses are costs incurred by employees that fall outside a company’s reimbursement policy, such as personal entertainment or unapproved expenses, and are not repaid. These expenses are flagged automatically through configurable policy rules, ensuring transparency without impacting reimbursement totals. Employees can log them for personal tracking, but the system marks them clearly as non-reimbursable. Finance teams can customize non-reimbursable categories to align with company needs. Tracking these expenses promotes compliance and provides visibility into spending behavior. Real-time notifications guide employees to correct submissions, reducing errors.
