Hi all,
My name is Vidya, appointed as an HR generalist. This is my first job. I need to draft a policy for expense reimbursement in our company. As this is a startup company, I have no senior-level managers to assist me in framing policies. Therefore, I kindly request any senior HR manager to guide me in creating the aforementioned policy.

Dear Vidya,
Reimbursement of expenses or handling imprest cash are the matters of the Accounts Department. Therefore, if they release the policy, the better. Mention clearly in the policy the format of the voucher, who is authorized to approve the voucher, who will be the final signatory, how the audit will take place, when it will take place, and so on.
Thanks,

Dear Vidya,
As required, please find attached the Reimbursement Form which includes Conveyance, Telephone, Staff Welfare, etc. You can add or delete the heads as per your requirement.
As rightly said by you, HR has to develop the formats and policies regarding employees. Subsequently, the accounts department will handle the payments.
It is essential for you to be very specific and ensure the criteria, processes, and approval systems in the policy are well-defined to prevent misuse by employees.
Your main task will be to formulate the Reimbursement Policy in a manner that enhances employee welfare while being cost-optimized.
Wishing you good luck in your new assignment.

Ms. Vidya Mohan,
As a company, managements prefer to encourage their employees to use their vehicles for attending official duty/business meetings as it is sometimes not possible to provide company-maintained vehicles. Normally, it happens with employees in HR, SALES & MARKETING, PURCHASE, TAXATION, LEGAL, and Admin departments. In a situation where there are absences of resources and logistics, and no alternatives in practice, work suffers, and time is lost.
In designing a Reimbursement policy, you need to consider two aspects. One is that the user is using his vehicle. In this situation, his vehicle undergoes wear and tear. Secondly, he is investing in fuel. At the same time, you need to consider policies for two-wheelers and policies for four-wheelers. Here, you must mention the grades of employees who would be eligible for reimbursement in case two-wheelers or four-wheelers are allowed. Normally, for two-wheelers, it should be in the range of Rs. 5/km, and for four-wheelers, it may start at Rs. 8/km with the sanction of the approval authority.
Best wishes,

Hi Vidya,
Please understand the sales process, sales cycle, and target geography of the sales team member. You can suggest:
1. Having a fixed amount paid to the sales guys as part of CTC; this will save the hurdle of checking all bills and verifying the visits, etc. You trust that the employees will use a comfortable mode of travel to visit the customer.
2. Fix limits for different levels and geography, give limits for the own vehicle used for official purposes. Define the time for submission of bills and the payment of the reimbursement cycle.
