Expense Receipts

If you don't turn in your expense receipts on time our corporate office will email you every week (copying your manager) until they get turned in. One of my associates has sent their receipts in numerous times and they can't seem to get it matched up with the report and so the emails continue and continue and continue. Last week, I received the following travel request:

Kim, Please approve and forward to the next approval level.

Reason for Trip: Hand Deliver Receipts for expense reports 0000362022 and 0000362032 to Texas

Dates: Depart Redding 10/08 Depart Sacramento: 10/09 Depart Plano 10/10
Estimated Cost of Trip: $1,308.40 (Air 1,308.40, Hotel $250.00, Food, $80.00)

that's awesome. Since I'm driving to Plano next week, do you want me to take them? I will give you 50% off the proposed expense report amount :)

Hey Kim,

I get those same messages. We can make the flight worth it, since this person can take my receipts also. Just think of the cost savings.
