Not trying to justify EY's train wreck of an expense policy. But why are you as a staff 2 picking up he tab on engagement meals with client. I'm surprised that the senior manager or managers aren't the ones doing that. In situations like that it, it should be the most senior on the team expensing those type of expenses
So I tried to do a 10 out of pocket and got a RR prompt. I think we're starting to cheap out yet again
^^ agreed. And it seems like you know the policy that you need a clients title, yet you continue to not include causing the kick back? Seems like there is an easy fix to this one.
I think op is abusing policy
We get to use any card we want for everything except flights, which are billed through the firm. Ive got on so many free point vacations hahaha no receipt for anything under $75.
Deloitte makes it really easy.. you just swipe your card, and expense on the T&E portal accordingly. Am I missing something ?! Sucks to have it any other way LOL
OP I feel you...they are definitely getting stricter and stricter on this. I was out of town for weeks during busy season, and to save time I ate breakfast at the same place every day (in the client's building). This place only accepts cash, but no matter what you get the total comes to $8.04, so you don't need a receipt because it's under the breakfast allowance of $15 AND under the "need receipt" minimum of $25, right?? WRONG! Got kicked back as "suspicious" because all of the amounts were the same, even though I followed policy in every way...and they requested receipts for each meal, which obviously I don't have. Eventually I got it through, but seriously, this push back on top of busy season hours on top of travel time on top of having to submit expenses...it's ridiculous!!
Seems someone is looking for a switch to PwC or Deloitte hahaha
For PwC only meals, sometimes I just put *engagement* team. Works. They always pay it out, and if it does get flagged, like 6mos after. Only need sig of supervisor on the form, resubmit, good to go
Out of pocket expense processing is similar to AMEX with the extra step of printing the expense report, signing it, attaching the receipt, and sending it to whatever department does that shit. Takes 2 pay periods to get it back.
^just use the Amex man. Why do you wanna deal with carrying the receipts and scanning and all that shit?
OP, I hate to say it but you may be too big for your britches. Welcome to corporate America.
If you know the policy, take the extra ten seconds to add people's titles and save yourself the time of complaining
OP, what's your rank
We use corporate cards, but PWC pays the bill. We have to put the expenses through but it's really not bad.
EY8: takes so much time. I travelled every week the past 2 months and I now have 2400 worth of gte to submit even though I tried to submit every week.
And if you let if go just a little bit, it literally take a few days entire morning/afternoon. Literally 1 hour per week of travel is what I've found. Sometimes more sometimes less.
Literally takes an entire morning/afternoon. Damn fat fingers, no idea where "a few days" came from...
Having worked other places, I do actually really think GT&E is easy to use, provided you use your corporate card. I'd recommend even if it's ordering delivery food, they ask to use the credit card of someone more senior anyway. They can probably float it longer and may have someone doing their expenses.
@EY 9: I'm also out of town for weeks at a time and I typically leave tips for housekeeping. I run these through whenever I run my hotel bill through. Just ran through 3 weeks of housekeeping tips @ $5 per day. Based on your story, I have another audit to look forward to.
What's your rank EY OP?
