Reimbursement Components
Reimbursement Components
Configure reimbursement heads — telephone, internet, fuel, LTA — that are paid against valid bills and treated correctly for tax.
Reimbursement components are salary elements provided to employees to reimburse specific expenses incurred during the course of their employment. These are typically non-taxable if supported by valid bills or receipts, as per statutory and organizational policies. Examples include Driver Reimbursement, Fuel Reimbursement, Leave Travel Reimbursement, Telephone Reimbursement and Vehicle Maintenance Reimbursement.
Reimbursement components can be configured so that employees can submit claims with supporting documents, which upon approval, will be processed in payroll.
Configuring Reimbursement Components
Navigate to Settings → Payroll → Salary Components → Reimbursement.
All default reimbursements will be displayed in the grid. Click the three dots in the Actions column and select Edit.

You can also restrict your employees from overriding the FBP amount by checking the Restrict employee from overriding the FBP amount option.
