Is your business prepared for a shelter-in-place remote workforce?

Tracking business expenses and ensuring they are submitted, reviewed, and approved on time is challenging. When most of your employees need to work remotely, submitting expenses becomes even more challenging.

TravelBank has created the following resources to help finance admins set up and communicate new work from home expense policies, and can help automate stress-free expense tracking for your remote workforce.

As the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues to spread globally, many states have instituted a shelter-in-place mandate, and therefore companies are shifting their employees to a remote workforce. Info icon

Expense policies for a remote workforce:

Consider your company culture, employee needs, and budget when creating an expense policy. For inspiration, one company created a new policy to enable WFH employees to reimburse up to $200 of equipment to make their WFH situation easier – monitors, keyboards, chairs, etc. Employees even get to keep the equipment afterwards. This is great for improving productivity and morale! Here are some additional examples to get you started.
