What is a travel expense policy

A travel expense policy outlines the rules and regulations for corporate card payments or reimbursing employees for expenses incurred while travelling on behalf of the company. The purpose of a travel expense policy is to ensure that employees are using their corporate card or are reimbursed fairly and consistently, while also protecting the company's financial interests. Having a well-defined travel expense policy helps to reduce confusion and potential disputes over expenses, and ensures that all employees understand what is and is not covered by the company. It also helps to minimise costs by setting limits on expenses and establishing clear guidelines for submitting expense reports.

Made to work with Weel’s expense management system

Whilst policies and guidelines are great, the systems and processes behind them are even more important. This Travel Expense Policy was made to work with Weel’s expense management system. Weel’s virtual corporate cards allow your employees to make purchases around the world, wherever Mastercard is accepted. For infrequent purchasers, reimbursements can be requested with the click of a button through our mobile app. Once a purchase is made, users are prompted to complete their expense report with a receipt which is sent to Weel’s transaction table and into your accounting system.
