Submitting expenses
Approvals
Generally, you should feel free to spend in ways that are in the best interest of the business (see our philosophy in spending company money). Approvals for spend are routed based on amount and department in Airbase, please see our spending limits. For all expense related questions, feel free to email us at ap@sourcegraph.com or post in Slack at #expense-inquiries.
If you are submitting an expense for a gift, meal, or entertainment with a prospective customer, vendor, or other external business partner, consult the Gifts policy in our Code of conduct and submit a form for any gifted items, meals, or entertainment with market value above $50.
Submit expenses every month
Teammates should submit expenses at the end of every month.
We prepare unaudited financial statements every month based on the prior month’s spending. Submitting expenses before the month ends simplifies our jobs, makes the financial reports we rely on for planning more accurate, helps our finance team track and ensure that each teammate is in compliance with our monthly expense limits, and helps you get your money back faster!
Any expenses more than 90 days old require approval by Finance. Itemized receipts must be included for any reimbursement requests over $25.
All Teammates
Reimbursement requests are processed on Airbase, which can be accessed via Okta. You will need to add your banking information into Airbase. All expenses will first be routed to your direct manager and then to Accounting for approval. Expect a 7-10 day turn around on receiving reimbursements. Itemized receipts must be included for any reimbursement requests over $25.
Internet, phone, and wellness benefits
- For US based teammates: these fringe benefits are automatically added to your paycheck (the total amount is split up over both paychecks for the month), there is no need to submit them via Airbase.
- For PEO teammates, these fringe benefits must be added to Deel.
- For teammates based outside the US: you can submit these through the Airbase reimbursement process (receipts are not required for these fixed line items and you can use the categories Wellness Benefits and Telephone/Internet).
- Fringe benefit amount (per month):
- Internet: $50
- Phone: $75
- Wellness: $100
