Expense Claims Update

Claim Half Days on Per Day Allowance Claims

Not every work trip lasts a full day. Per Day Allowance claims now accept half days, so employees can claim in steps of 0.5 (e.g. 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 days) instead of rounding to a whole number. 

Key Benefits:

🕐 Claim half days – Enter the number of days in steps of 0.5 (e.g. 0.5, 1, 1.5). This works the same way for employees, HR and PAs.

🧮 Totals worked out for you – The total amount is calculated as number of days × rate per day, rounded to 2 decimals.

🔒 Saved claims stay as entered – Reopening a claim on web or mobile keeps its saved number of days and total amount.

✅ One setting to turn on – Make sure to enable 'Allow edit number of days' on your Per Day Allowance claim type. Claim types without it keep using whole days.

📱 Available on web and from app version 2.19.0.
