Deloitte experienced hires, who all received written offers and in process of visa/ onboarding, have you heard back anything about hiring freeze? Or recruiter asked you to delay joining date?
My visa got submitted couple of days back and waiting for decision. When I reached out to recruiter to give her an update and mentioned once there’s decision will discuss on the start date before putting my 2 weeks, she mentioned “Yes, we should talk before you put notice” - Am I overthinking? Deloitte
Anyone from AMEX project?

Cut all the corners
Yes
Yeah, I don't know anyone who does that. As long as it's same or less. I mean, yeah you should use that process, but I haven't heard of anyone that does. Sooooooo
Yes
If you submit it as AWT you're going to be asked for the amex travel comparison. However if you book as regular air fare you will not. Make decision accordingly
Get a screen shot of your normal flight showing a comparable price, and save it in case you're challenged. I've never been asked for it, and the auditors don't check to see if it's home or alternate location.
Yes, you must call and use the Amex travel for any AWT !
I never did when I was at EY. Never had a problem with it going through GT&E
@EY3 haha yes it's Alternative Weekend Travel and there is a process but the value of flights, hotels, cars etc. when using AWT is taxable to you so I'm trying to cut corners if possible
Cut it
So when u expense you just expense as regular air fare and not alt weekend travel?
I've always done just regular air. Never had a problem:
I never "just book it" on Amex for AWT. Ever since 2 yrs ago, gTE has been looking more closely at all travel receipts. What's the harm in calling Amex NRC? You just tell them the typical route you use to go home and the new route. You hold on the phone and they take care of everything for you. All the documentation is set in your invoice so it's super easy to file expenses. By the way, screenshots of the price doesn't work with the system clock showing doesn't work. GTE will kick it back and you won't have a defense.
always call AE traveler. it's in the policy
Nope.
Never
What is AWT? Alternative weekend travel? Either way, literally have no clue if there is a process.
I hope you all are giving serious answers and not trolling cause I'm about to just book it without getting Amex travel quote
Alt travel is not taxable to you. It's only taxable if a spouse or someone else is joining and only their portion is.
I've never done that, just book it and be responsible. If the cost is equivalent I assure you there are other violations that are far more egregious.
