Overview
Claims arrive as photos in chat; loans and advances are tracked in a notebook and forgotten at payroll time.
- Claims go Draft → Submitted → Manager approved → Finance approved → Reimbursed, with a reason on rejection; reimbursement is paid in the payroll run that finalizes.
- Loans repay in instalments through payroll; HR sees everything owed, records repayments made outside payroll and writes a loan off when needed. Settled loans notify the employee.
- A leaver’s open loans and advances are brought into the final payroll.
- Each category can carry spending limits, and a new workspace starts with a ready list of categories.
