Expense management software that reimburses through the next pay run

The short answer

Workzoom expense management lets employees submit expense claims with receipts, log corporate card spend, and raise travel and cash advance requests, then routes them for approval and pays approved reimbursements through the next pay run. Expense types, policies, and mileage rates are configured to your business, lines can be entered in a foreign currency and reimbursed in your base currency, and because expenses sit inside the HRIS and payroll, an approved claim becomes a reimbursement line on the pay stub, no separate cheque. Workzoom expense management is built for employers with 50 to 5,000 employees.

The real problem

Where expense management breaks down today

03 pain points

Without enforcement at submission, finance finds problems too late. The only options left are an awkward clawback or absorbing the cost.

The Workzoom answer

Workzoom Expenses enforces policy at the point of submission. Out-of-policy claims are flagged before they reach a manager, not discovered in an audit.

Payroll Suite

Approved expenses are reimbursed through the next pay run.

Every Workzoom suite shares the same employee data, so expenses stays current with payroll, HR, workforce, and talent without an export or an integration to maintain.

Benefits

Why Expenses?

Reimbursed on the Next Pay Run

Because expenses and payroll share one database, an approved claim becomes a line on the employee's next pay stub with no export, no separate cheque, and no reconciliation between systems.

Cards, Advances, Travel, and Claims in One Place

Corporate credit card spend, cash advances, travel requests, and out-of-pocket expense claims all live in the same system, tied to the employee record and routed for approval.

Configured to How You Actually Spend

Expense types, policies, and mileage rates are configured to your business and effective-dated, so the correct rate applies to the correct period. Each expense line can be entered in a foreign currency with an exchange rate, then reimbursed in your base currency.

How it works

How expense management software runs in production.

EXPENSE CLAIMS

Submit claims and receipts against your configured expense types

Employees create an expense statement, add expense details against the expense types you configure, and submit receipts, all tied to their employee record rather than a separate system.

  • Expense claims built from your configured expense types
  • Receipts submitted and attached to each claim
  • Flat-amount and rate-based expense types

CORPORATE CARDS

Track corporate credit card spend alongside out-of-pocket claims

Add corporate credit cards, assign them to cardholders, and record card transactions so company-card spend is reconciled in the same place as employee expense claims.

  • Corporate cards assigned to cardholders
  • Card transactions recorded as credit card entries
  • Card spend and out-of-pocket claims in one system

TRAVEL AND ADVANCES

Raise travel requests and cash advances before the spend

Employees create travel requests and cash advance requests ahead of a trip and submit them for approval, with advances held against the person and reconciled against the expenses that follow.

  • Travel requests for pre-trip approval
  • Cash advance requests held against the person
  • Advances reconciled against submitted expenses

POLICIES AND RATES

Expense types, policies, and rates configured to your business

Configure expense policies, the set of expense types your business uses, and effective-dated mileage rates, so the rate you set applies by date. Each expense line can be entered in a foreign currency with an exchange rate, then reimbursed in your base currency through payroll.

  • Effective-dated mileage rates you configure
  • Configurable expense policies and expense types
  • The rate you set, applied by effective date

PAYROLL REIMBURSEMENT

Approved expenses flow into the next pay run

Because expenses sit inside payroll, an approved reimbursement becomes a line on the employee's next pay stub from the same database, with no export, separate cheque, or cross-system reconciliation.

  • Approved reimbursements paid through the next pay run
  • Reimbursement appears as a line on the pay stub
  • No export, separate cheque, or manual import

Frequently asked

What teams ask before turning on Expenses.

Specifics on how Workzoom expenses works, what it costs, and how it connects to the rest of the platform.

Workzoom's expense management software replaces paper receipts, email attachments, and spreadsheets with a digital workflow for submitting, approving, and reimbursing employee expenses. It gives finance teams spending visibility, enforces company policies automatically, and creates an audit trail from receipt to payment. Because expenses connect directly to payroll, reimbursements happen through the next pay run without any manual data transfer.
Workzoom employees upload a receipt image or PDF, select the expense type, add details like amount and purpose, and submit from any device with a browser. For mileage, they log the amount and Workzoom applies the configured mileage rate. Required fields are enforced at the form level so incomplete submissions cannot proceed.
Workzoom applies the expense policies and expense types you configure, and routes expense claims for approval before reimbursement. You define the expense types, rates, and policy that apply to your business, so claims are reviewed against your rules rather than reconciled after the money is paid.
Workzoom's expenses and payroll share the same database so once a manager approves an expense, it flows directly into the next payroll run. There is no export, no CSV file, and no manual entry into a separate payroll system. The reimbursement appears as a line item on the employee's pay stub. Cable Bahamas processes reimbursements for 850 employees this way with zero manual reconciliation.
Workzoom applies a configurable mileage rate that you set and effective-date. Employees log mileage and Workzoom reimburses at your current rate per mile or kilometer. The rate is maintained by you rather than pulled from an external table, and mileage follows the same approval and payroll-reimbursement flow as any expense claim.
Because expenses sit inside payroll, an approved claim becomes a reimbursement line on the employee's next pay stub from the same database, with no export, separate cheque, or manual import. Expense reporting views let you review spend by expense type.
Workzoom's expense management is included in the Payroll Suite at $4 per employee per month. No setup fees and no long-term contracts. The Payroll Suite also includes pay processing and benefits administration. A 200-employee business pays $800 per month for payroll with expenses included.
