The Legal Risk Score of a Expense Claim Policy Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The policy requires pre-approval from a manager or the CEO for certain expenses, which could delay or complicate reimbursement if timely approvals are not obtained.
  • Employees must provide detailed documentation, including receipts and justification for expenses, which could be challenging if proper records are not maintained or if the documentation is lost.
  • The policy specifies non-reimbursable expenses and requires bookings to be made through specific channels, which might limit flexibility and increase the personal financial burden if not adhered to.

This document imposes structured and detailed requirements on expense claims, which may reduce the risk of unauthorised or fraudulent claims but could also increase the administrative burden on employees. Compared to other policies, this document provides clear guidelines and expectations, which, if followed, can minimise misunderstandings and disputes over reimbursements, but it requires diligent record-keeping and adherence to specific procedures.
