Wouldn't a flat per diem payment make more sense then? That way you don't need the complex (and presumably pricey) expenses software, and you don't torture your employees with it when they could be doing something useful.

- p_l 4y agoIn reality you end up dealing with a flat per diem... that you have to calculate to the hour with things like crossing borders (even funnier when you have to include work authorizations in there, like with Switzerland!), and you still have expense claims, which might or might not be discounted by per diem depending on type of the claim!
- xmcqdpt2 4y agoEven if you have a per diem you still need to expense things, just less of them. So the system still needs to exist. Unless your per diem is completely over the top, you'll need to expense flights, hotels, team dinners, client dinners, etc.
