Reimbursing and substantiating business travel expenses can be a cumbersome, time-consuming process. Here's how it traditionally works. Employees collect receipts as they travel and maintain records that note the time, place and business purpose of each expenditure. Then, they submit monthly expense reports that must be approved by their supervisors.
