Employee Settings – Travel Expense Management

Configure meal preselection, default vehicle, and permissions for travel expense management per employee.

Written by Gideon Weller

On an employee's detail page, the Travel Expense Management module adds the setting whether daily allowances are calculated for this employee. The setting is located on the employee detail page under Employees > [Person] > General > Data in the Settings tab.

Activate daily allowances

With the checkbox Daily allowances, you activate the daily allowance calculation for this employee. The checkbox only appears when the travel expense module is active and a daily allowance procedure has been configured in the master settings.

When the checkbox is deactivated, no daily allowances are calculated for this employee on trips, and no meal deductions are applied. Useful e.g. for employees whose travel expenses are billed exclusively via flat-rate reimbursements.

Daily allowance procedure in Austria per employee

Note: This section only appears when the Austrian daily allowance procedure is configured in the master settings and the daily allowance checkbox is active for the employee.

In Austria, the calculation procedure can be overridden per employee. The available options are:

  • Default from Administration > Settings > Daily allowances: takes over the procedure set tenant-wide (default)

  • Calendar-day rule: the daily allowance is calculated per calendar day

  • 24-hour rule: the daily allowance is calculated per started 24-hour period

The setting controls how ZEP interprets the billing-relevant period of a trip. It is relevant when an individual employee needs to deviate from the tenant-wide default.
