Example of Classifying a Business Expense as Business - Employee Paid

Business - Employee Paid is a business expense classification where you pay the corporate card provider for corporate card expenses incurred.

This expense classification indicates that your company reimburses you, rather than the corporate card provider. The following scenario illustrates when you might classify business expenses as Business Employee Paid rather than Business or Personal.

Note: The Business - Employee Paid option is only visible during expense entry if the Both Pay scenario has been set up in corporate cards setup. In the Both Pay scenario, your employer reimburses the card issuer for corporate card expenses and you pay for personal expenses.

Classifying Expense Report Items as Business - Employee Paid

Jane Smith, a corporate trainer, was issued a corporate card so she can charge training expenses while teaching courses at customer sites. Jane receives the corporate card statement at home and decides to pay the entire statement amount to the card provider before completing her expense report. When Jane completes her report, she classifies the expenses as Business - Employee Paid, rather than Business or Personal, because she has paid the business expenses.

Note: This scenario is the exception, rather than the rule, because typically the employer reimburses the card provider, rather than the employee.
