Expense Policy - Alcohol

[lperez-lopez]

hi! policy inquiry here...does your company allow for alcohol reimbursement? if so, what is the limit (serving vs. cost)?

thanks,

No we do not (non-reimbursed).

I have worked at other companies where they would allow it (~1-2 drinks at with dinner meal not to exceed $20).

Our company allows one alcoholic beverage reimbursement on the dinner meal only (in the attempt to keep alcoholic beverage at the end of the day).  We do not have a limit on the cost of the beverage but it is included as part of the daily meal limit of $50.  If the dinner receipt has, more than one alcoholic beverage the employee can only expense one, itemizing the other beverage as personal (not reimbursed).  We require all meal receipts to include the detail portion (not just the total) to audit if there were alcoholic beverages.

Hi @lperez-lopez ,

Have you seen this conversation on Community? Paid Meal Allowances V Actuals on the Company Card

It could provide additional insight as to how other community members are handling this question. Check it out!
