### The **task of** managing [travel expenses](https://www.captio.com/blog/6-keys-for-capitalising-on-business-travel-expenses) represents extra work for the company’s employees. To minimize the efforts required by team members, there is a set of **tips** that each employee should follow:

- Request and**keep receipts** for each of the expenses that can be reimbursed.
- **Be organized**, particularly if you have to manage large numbers of receipts.
- **Don’t leave it to the last minute to fill in your expense reports**. Do so every week in order to prevent errors and avoid prolonging the process.
- **Monitor non-reimbursable expenses**, those that are necessary but which are not covered by the company’s policy. It is important to assess whether they are necessary and notify the company or, on the contrary, whether they can be avoided.
- Set up your **own system for supervising expenses** adapted to your needs and way of working. To do so, you could draft your own Microsoft Excel template.
