Always On The Road
The spread of globalization has transformed worldwide travel from a rare luxury into a frequent norm. T&E management is a major focus area for companies, especially in view of the recent economic downturn and increasingly strict regulation on corporate governance. T&E refers to the costs associated with traveling for the purpose of conducting business-related activities. Or, expenses incurred by an employee while he/she is traveling for work and/or entertaining a business client. Some T&E examples could be money spent on lodging, transportation, and meals. Entertainment expenses may include taking a client to dinner, to a theater show, or to a sporting event. Travel and entertainment expenses are usually tax-deductible. However, it is vitally important that the employee keep supporting documentation such as receipts, travel logs, etc. in order to claim the deduction.
Constant Baggage Claim
In the scramble of packing and planning, meetings and presentations, usually the employee-on-move has less time and focus on billing and expense mathematics. And for the employee who pretty much makes several sales calls within one location on a given day, the relevance of his/her productivity is more beneficial to his company, than time consuming travel proof submissions.
Between sanctioning and approving budgets, and claiming travel expenses, laborious paperwork, lost time can reduce overall productivity and burden the road warriors of an organization. Smarter time management is of the essence for a travelling employee and speedier approvals add value to their purpose.
