UK Payroll - Link payroll with expenses
I think it would be fantastic if expenses were able to be linked to payroll/ pay run. Expenses are great and the app is really easy to use but from a processing point, most firms pay with their the payroll. You currently you have to create a expense suspense and clear the expenses to that and then manually add the expenses to payroll which also get posted to the expense suspense- it all a bit of a hassle and would be fantastic if the expenses could just be added to payroll, in the same way the leave does.

We've recently started using the expenses feature after being force onto a more expensive plan where this is included.
Typically expense are covered on an company card, however in the current pay run an employee had trouble with it and used a personal card. As such we looked to reimburse the expense through payroll.
We were surprised to see the lack of integration between these two areas - it would be quite a hassle to need to process multiple claims across multiple employees on a weekly basis in the current state.
There definitely seems to be an opportunity to improve the workflow here through allowing unpaid expenses for each employee to be selected during a pay run, with the totals being added to the pay, as well as marking them as paid in the expenses module.
