How to approve expense requests

As an employer, you are the one who needs to approve the expense requests coming from your employees and local partners. You also need to approve the requests that YOU have created by yourself.

Approve your own requests

If you, as a Client, have created the request, you can approve it right away by clicking on the Approve button

Then confirm the action by clicking Approve

Once it will be approved, the status of your request will be set to Awaiting payment. 

 

The expected date for the reimbursement will be shown in the Payout date column. Expenses added and approved before and up to 3rd working day of the month, will be included in the current month's payroll. Requests approved after this period will automatically be included in the next payroll.

This rule is not applicable (N/A) to contractors. Expenses for contractors will be added to the last available payment which is not yet paid.

Once the payment will be made, the request will be moved to the History tab.

Approve requests created by your employees/contractors or local partners

  • Once your employee/contractor or the local partner creates the expense request, you will receive an email notification asking you to approve or reject this request. After clicking the Review the request button, you will be redirected to the Expenses page.

  • If something needs to be changed, you should select Reject and provide the reason so that your employee / you / Remofirst can create a new request based on the comments.

  • If you approve the request, the status will be changed to Awaiting payment.

 

The expected date for the reimbursement will be shown in the Payout date column. Expenses must be submitted and approved by the 3rd working day of the month to be included in the current payroll cycle. Any expense submitted and approved after will be paid out in the next month’s payment period.
