Employee Expense & Reimbursement Policy

Last updated March 2026 · Applies to all employees and contractors

This policy covers what the company will reimburse and the documentation we need to process a payment. Reimbursements are paid by ACH on the next run after an approver signs off. If something isn't covered here, ask your manager or finance before you spend.

Receipts

  • An itemized receipt is required for any expense over $25.
  • The receipt must show the merchant, date, items, and total.
  • Personal cards are reimbursed; corporate-card charges reconcile automatically.

Not reimbursable

  • Personal purchases, even if bought during a work trip.
  • Gift cards, prepaid cards, and other cash-equivalent purchases.
  • Alcohol beyond a reasonable amount with a client meal.
  • Fines, late fees, and card activation fees.
  • Anything without a valid receipt or business purpose.

Approver checklist

  • Does the business justification match the receipt?
  • Is the amount within policy for its category?
  • Is it an allowable expense, and not on the not-reimbursable list?
  • When in doubt, send it back with a note rather than approving.
