Expense Reimbursements

Scheduling expense reimbursements for employees and/or contractors through Justworks is simple!

Admins who need to reimburse their team members can do so through going to the ‘Make a payment’ tool from the left-hand navigation, and select ‘expense reimbursement’ as the pay type:

You can add multiple employees at once, and copy the same amount to each, or schedule different amounts.

The processing timeline for expense reimbursements is the same as any other type of payment for the company. You'll have the chance to review the payments that are scheduled, and edit them if needed.

Admins with proper permissions can schedule expense reimbursements to employees and contractors at any time.

First, visit the Payments Center, and find the Expense Reimbursement pay type.

Then, select a paydate, and add any notes. You won't have to select any tax settings, as expense reimbursements are not taxabale wages.

Once you hit continue, you'll be able to select as many payees as you wish. You can enter different amounts for each recipient if you need to do so.

You'll be able to review and submit the payment:

Once you submit, you'll see a confirmation page telling you when you can edit the payment until, when your company's bank account will be debited, and when your recipients can expect to see their payment.
