If we provide fake receipt for accommodation claim, does HR call the hotel to verify?

FYI, I stayed in another hotel (more expensive) and wanna submit claim for less expensive hotel cause that is what I eligible for.

Sounds like a terrible idea. Can't you just explain that the hotel costed more than the limit, but you're only looking to get the eligible amount reimbursed?

Especially bad idea after telling them.
I would put in the partial claim though, and make them deny it, if that’s what they insist on.

At the same time you should also have kept within budget,

What you’re describing is straight fraud - a fireable offense at most companies. Why not just make it easy on yourself and operate within policy instead?

I am well aware. That is why i ask cause it doesn’t feel right.

Can’t you just claim less than the amount on the receipt? I do this with meals all the time. For example if we are eligible for a $75 meal reimbursement but I spent $100, then I just expense $75 and submit the $100 receipt as evidence.

The management make it hard on me to do that. Maybe to make their work easier.

You should have turned in the real receipt and made a note that you don't want the full amount reimbursed, and if you REALLY wanted/needed to, then showed the lesser one for reference.

I doubt that HR will call the hotel, however, fabrication of documents is never a good idea; you're opening a can of worms you shouldn't have no matter how well intended it was.

Why not submit the more expensive but only request reimbursement for what you’re allotted. They shouldn’t have a problem with that.

This is the right approwch

Lying and/or providing false documentation will get you in far worse trouble than submitting the actual accommodation receipt but only claiming the amount you were allowed. From my experience with travel claims, it doesn't matter what you actually DID; it matters what you claim for. If you stayed in a $200 room and your eligible amount was $140, you attach the $200 receipt to your claim, but you only enter $140 as the amount you are claiming. It's never a good idea to lie to your employer about anything. If you'll lie about a hotel bill, what might you lie about that is related to work? Just don't do it. It would be very hard to build up trust again.

When I was over a reimbursement team we would require receipts but the max you could get was per diem. Seems simple enough so not sure why your management is making it hard. Maybe the process needs an overhaul at your organization.

Maybe ask the hotel you did stay at to split the stay into two receipts?

Call billing and ask them to rerun the charge on two cards. You could have done that at check out. They may help you out…or you could see if your credit card company will demy the charge and then ask the hotel to split tender.

There are pre-established per diems, ie lodging so it you exceed it, it auto-flags.
Perhaps offer to pay the diff. and call it a day?

Sounds like you want to get fired over a few bucks to me. Good luck

Suck up the cost of the hotel unfortunately

Friendly reminder in American society we have rules and regulations and frown upon lying and deception in case you didn’t get the memo
