Keep company-paid costs out of personal reimbursement

Confirm who actually bore each expense before paying a claimant.

Records and local rule

The fictional claim rule covers staff-paid eligible costs only. A company card paid HKD 240, staff Ada paid 160 personally, and a 90 item has unknown payer. Business purpose is confirmed for all three, but purpose alone does not prove personal outlay.

Process the recorded case

  1. Link expense to payment evidence
  2. Separate company and personal payers
  3. Hold unknown payer amounts
  4. Submit only staff outlay to reimbursement review

A company-card statement is not evidence that the employee paid personally.

Check the outcome

How much is presently eligible for Ada’s personal reimbursement review?

Show the worked answer

160 only. Company-paid 240 is excluded; unknown-payer 90 remains pending. Total recorded business expense is 490, a different measure.
