Careers and pay

Expenses

Costs you pay for while working (travel, hotels, meals, equipment) and then claim back from your employer or client, usually with receipts and within an expenses policy.

You'll hear it as

Book the train and put it through on expenses.

Why it matters to you.

Check the policy before you spend, not after. If you're a contractor, ask whether your day rate includes expenses: travel to a client site can quietly eat a day's pay.
