Whirl the World - Expenses
Expenses incurred while undertaking normal duties can be reclaimed at the end of each calendar month. An advance payment can be made to assist employees meeting significant expenses.
To minimise the amount that employees have to incur before receiving reimbursement, company credit cards will be issued to employees who regularly incur expenses exceeding US$400 per month.
User defined variables have been used for the expense limits. This simplifies updating when the rates change.
