How Incidental Expenses are Reimbursed?
Company policy decides the procedure of reimbursement for incidental expenses. Generally, employers reimburse the incidental expenses in two ways, either they will provide the company credit card to the employee or will ask the employee to pay out of his/her pocket and the company will pay him/her later. Some employers set per diem rates to compensate for incidental expenses. A per diem rate is a daily allowance that the company needs to provide to its employee to meet incidental expenses like meal expenses, rentals, etc.
