    Expenses

    What are Expenses?

    Expenses are costs that are incurred for running a business. They can be incurred on various day-to-day business activities including travel, food, and lodging. Record and claim reimbursement for all the expenses you incur on behalf of your business in the Expenses module.

    How does Expenses work? 

    When a business expense has been incurred, on corporate card or personal expense, you can upload the receipt or record it in JobBag. Collate all your expenses according to your organisation's requirements as a claim, and submit it to your manager or finance for approval. Your manager or finance will review the claim and choose to approve or reject it. If approved, your claim will be then posted and paid to you. If rejected, your manager or finance will let you know what needs to be fixed up before you resubmit your claim.

    Approving and Rejecting Claims

    All claims need to be checked and approved prior to reimbursement, so that the Organisation allocates costs to the right cost centres.
    Depending on your Organisation, you may need a Manager to approve claim, or send it direct to Finance for approval.

    What are Claims?

    An Expense Claim is a compilation of all the Expenses you have incurred for a project or for a period of time. You will need to create a claim, submit it to your manager or finance team (depending on your Organisation's preference) in order to be reimbursed for your Expenses.
