Submit

Deadline is on third Monday of the month; we will send you reminders a few days before and a calendar invite for the submission date itself.

Approve

Project managers must approve expenses within 3 working days from submission. Responsibility for chasing approvals lies with the employee claiming the expense not the finance team; you will be sent calendar reminders to carry out approvals.

Verify

Finance team will check your expenses, and on occasion you may be asked to correct entries or provide additional information. In instances where additional information needs to be added to the claim, approval will need to be carried out again. To avoid delays please provide description of your expenses in following format:

Travel

Date / initial / service / destination/ reason i.e.:
12/03 BG rtn train Lon-Leeds to new client meeting – Tetley Brewery or 12/3/BG accommodation in Leeds 2 nights new client meeting

Entertainment

Date / initial / service / description / no of people attending i.e.: 13/03 BG monthly team lunch 5 people or 12/3 BG new client lunch (3) Tetley Brewery J Smith

Pay

Payment will be made on the last working day of the month.

Missed deadlines

Finance will accommodate where possible but please try to keep within the above timetable, as during busy periods it might not be feasible to process your claim outside of the regular pattern.
