Today I was handed an expense reimbursement form -- with a PARKING TICKET attached. Not a parking receipt, a parking TICKET. This guy wants to paid back for parking illegally!
I took the form back to the person and kindly explained that accounting will not reimburse this "expense". His reply was that he was late for a meeting and the parking garage was three blocks away. It took every ounce of strength I had not to say, "SO?"
Fine. Per his insistence (he's a BIG bossie), I'm sending it off to accounting. I can't WAIT to see what I get in response.
*sigh*

Now that's one for the record books. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in your accounting department when they get this one. Sheesh! Chris68

Kohinoor, I had to laugh at your list! How on earth do they try to justify them? You must hear some real winners!

It's not the people who claim back for these things, it's the dept/manager that ok's it!!

Part of my job was once scrutinising expense claims and one middle manager's claim after a two day business trip included: three ice-creams ("it was hot"), a laundry bill ("my suit was soiled"), and a cinema ticket ("I was bored"). Of course they were all knocked back. For his London-Edinburgh rail journey he also claimed for the cost of an upgrade to first class, and for three (THREE!) bottles of wine with his meal. G is right - the CEO approved these - despite having told us all a week earlier to stamp down on inflated expense claims!
Ho hum.

Welcome to my world  I process expense reports for over 1,000 employees and have been doing it for about 8 years now. Just when you think you've seen it all, someone will come up with a new one. Some memorable items (not paid): kennel/pet sitting fees for pets house sitting/plant watering fees body shots - aka drinks at strip club Tuxedo rental Our company policy allows a $10.00 incidental expense per night, when traveling overnight, for such items as movies, gym fees, books, magazines, etc. Thankfully I can't see what type of movies are being rented.  nolalady - aka "The Expense Police" |

and of course my world s going to get very interesting considering I will not only be 'creating' the expenses forms based on receipts sent to me, get them signed off by new de facto boss (long story) and then process and approve them on the system. So I reckon I will be the one having to work out what the expense is for, the cover story as to why it is valid together with associated yes / no / oh really conversations and finally approve / deny the claim itself - we are definitely not alone!!!
