Approve a Travel or Expense Request

All travel and expense requests are submitted for approval before being reimbursed by the company. A Manager or HR manager is responsible for approval of these requests, depending upon the company workflow.

Note 1: This help page demonstrates step-by-step instructions for a Manager to approve a travel request. HR has got similar sections in the Empxtrack portal for travel and expense modules. Same procedure is followed to approve an expense request in the Expense Details section.

Note 2: Travel and Expense module is not available in Free Payroll. Upgrade to a paid version to avail these functionalities.

To approve a travel request, you need to:

1. Log in to the system as a Manager or HR Manager.

2. Go to Process tab and scroll down to Travel details section. Click View travel records link to view requests sent to you by your subordinates.
