Effective expenses or flat-rate expenses: these types of expenses exist

There are two ways in which expenses can be accounted for:

 

  1. actual expenses: Employees are reimbursed for all expenses incurred in the performance of their job. The condition is that the expenses are incurred in the interests of the employer. Employees must be able to prove the expenses with receipts and vouchers. Actual expenses must be paid together with the salary, unless a shorter period has been agreed. Traffic fines are not considered expenses in the sense of expenses.

 

  1. lump-sum expenses: In the case of lump-sum expenses, the company determines a lump-sum amount that is paid to the employee within a certain period together with the salary payment. Flat-rate expenses are useful for companies that must process a large number of expense receipts. In theory, the lump-sum expenses must roughly correspond to the expenses compensated.
