First year working for EY and loving it so far. I have a £500 Spend Account but I'm not exactly sure what I can use it for. I would love to visit my elderly grandparents in USA, can I use the Spend Account to buy a ticket?

I’m just hear to find out about what a “spend account” is and how to lobby for that perk at my company - because it sounds like an account I could use to expense work “ish” type things like printer ink, paper, and custom mouse pads/headsets. Or at least that’s what I envision being.

Why not use it how it should be used and the money you aren’t using towards those things you put aside like you are spending your own money and use that money for a ticket

Your company should have clear policy. Ask HR if you cant find it to avoid the expenses being rejected.

Look up your country's specific policies on this account.

I have never had one, so not sure on what the policies surrounding it could be. Would definitely check into the fine print before spending it though. Also see if it rolls over or if there is some kind of expiration on it. We have a health stipend, that is use it or lose it by the end of the year.

If you're based in the UK, you can definitely use it for holidays. You can't use for normal travel costs (eg train fares to the office) but holiday flights are OK. Look on the website in your Rewards section, and it'll tell you what you can use it for. When you claim it, it will be treated as taxable earnings and you'll get taxed on the payment, but still a way to treat yourself.

Get a nice $500 chair like Herman Miller because you will be spending a lot of time in that chair if you’re remote/hybrid lol just give it some time

Hey Fishes, I feel the RTO policy in not getting enforced rather it is getting imposed it seems (in ZS across offices). Suddenly from being employee centric they have shifted their focus to ZS culture and values. Let the thoughts pour in!
