Paid for something for work? Claim it here and your employer pays you back with your next pay.

How do I claim an expense?

  1. Open Expenses and choose New claim.
  2. Choose Something I paid for.
  3. Fill in What was it for?, the Date and the Amount paid.
  4. Tick The receipt includes GST if it does.
  5. Add a photo or PDF of the Receipt.
  6. Choose Submit for approval, or Save draft to finish later.

How do I claim kilometres?

  1. Choose New claim, then Kilometres in my car.
  2. Fill in Where did you go, and why? and your Business kilometres.
  3. Choose Submit for approval.

Your employer picks the rate per kilometre when they approve it. Until then, the amount shown is an estimate.

Can I change a claim I've sent?

Yes, while it's still Waiting for approval. Choose Withdraw beside it to turn it back into a draft, change it, then send it again.

Sent back means your employer declined it. Their note says why.

How do I know it's been paid?

Its status changes to Approved, then Paid back once the pay run is done.
