Common misunderstandings cleared up:
| 1. “You can’t do advance expense claims.” | You can. Claims can be entered for months in advance and paid as soon as they’re authorised and approved. |
| 2. “Head Office authorises and approves claims.” | Incorrect. Claims continue to be authorised and approved by branch officers. Head Office does not review or reject claims. |
| 3. “Branches can’t exceed the £75/£95 hotel allowance.” | Not true. Branch Treasurers can increase the allowance limit in the Manage Allowances section. |
| 4. “Users must upload MOT/Insurance documents.” | No need. Users only enter dates and details as before; document uploads are not required. |
| 5. “Provided meals can’t be adjusted.” | Now updated. Users can remove provided lunches or dinners for each day to ensure claims are accurate. |
