Travel Reimbursement Saga...kind of?
Another short post for this morning. So I submitted all of my travel reimbursement forms from my recent trip up north. The total reimbursements owed to me were about $1,500. I specifically asked that the amount be promptly reimbursed because I didn't want to carry airfare and hotel expenses on my credit card. The bookkeeper agreed to pay those with my next paycheck. While I still have travel reimbursements outstanding since August and October totaling about $800 at least I will be getting the big portion of the money owed to me before the end of the month. I going to count this one as a win! I don't have to switch money around to cover the $1,500 in work expenses. I will work next month on my other travel reimbursements.

That is a win. Too bad the bookkeeper isn't more prompt about reimbursing these expenses. Any chance you could convince them to provide you with a company credit card...one that is in their name?
ReplyDeleteThey are reluctant to issue company credit cards to employees due to issues in the past with employees stealing money. I don't mind fronting the company expenses, as long as they are promptly reimbursed. Part of the problem is that we have 1 bookkeeper who is responsible for keeping up with and reimbursing travel for 9 people.
DeleteThat would drive me insane! But thinking back, I think my husband's work a few years back took 3 paychecks to reimburse. Accounting wise, it is not hard, I am not sure why it takes so long.
ReplyDeletePart of the problem is that we have 1 bookkeeper who is responsible for keeping up with and reimbursing travel for 9 people. She also does all of the billing, etc. I think the main problem is that they prioritize paying for partner travel and outside vendors first rather than employees.
