We used to do actuals for business trip expenses. It was very obnoxious having to justify every dollar you spent and needing the receipts to back them up. Forget to grab a receipt for a gas station coffee and sandwich and the admin assistant just assumes you were buying cigarettes and a 40oz. Whatever money the company was saving on paying actual expenses, I'm sure they were paying more for approving complicated expense reports. Now, we get per diem and there's no annoying oversight into how you spend your money and what on.
- Scoundreller 5y agoWorked for a gov environment that required receipts for everything. Take public transit and you better search out a paper chit for the $3, but drive your car and they’ll accept any mileage at 50c/km. Was more about checking boxes than anything else. Was funny when you have a dinner with 7 people and end up with 14 receipts because we can’t expense alcohol.
