when someone takes a business trip he/she can claim/ reimbursement (pay back)
Where are travelers padding their claims?
It seems that certain areas in expense reports are more prone to padding than others. 70.3% stated that mileage would be the easiest area of an expense claim to pad, with subsistence next in line at 64.1% followed by taxi at 45.3%.
Employee Reimbursement
It appears that, with the financial crisis, reimbursement times are becoming shorter. 38.4% of the travelers surveyed are reimbursed within 15 to 30 days; though 2.7% have to wait more than one month to recover the sums they have advanced.
Consequently, money leads to a very complex and sometimes stressful relationship between the company and the traveler, nobody wants to advance funds for a structure that is theoretically much richer than he or she is. This relationship is complex because it leads to requirements and management rules that require a great deal of diplomacy on the part of the financial department and the employee.
