Benefits of Assigning Approvers:

  • Streamlined Approvals: Efficiently route expense reports to designated approvers based on pre-defined workflows.
  • Accountability: Clearly define who is responsible for reviewing and approving each expense report.
  • Compliance: Ensure adherence to your organization's expense reimbursement policies.

Additional Considerations:

  • Approval Hierarchy: You might establish a multi-level approval hierarchy based on expense amounts or categories.
  • Approver Substitutes: Consider setting up substitutes or delegation options to ensure uninterrupted processing of expense reports in case primary approvers are unavailable.
  • Approver Training: Providing training to approvers on using PayExpense and understanding your expense reimbursement policies can enhance efficiency and consistency in the review process.

By effectively managing approvers in PayExpense, you can create a well-organized and efficient system for processing employee expense claims.
