How Spendesk manages per diem in Germany

Our first version of this feature focuses specifically on per diem meal allowances, based on the latest rates the German government has put in place.

Simple per diem processing with Spendesk:

1. The business traveler takes off for their business trip, anywhere in the world.

2. When they’re back, the traveler makes a per diem request in Spendesk. They just need to enter a few trip details (destination(s), dates, time) and identify any free meals they had during the trip. Then Spendesk auto-calculates the amount accordingly.

3. The request is sent to their manager to check all the information and approve (or deny) the request.

4. The finance team can review all request information and easily reimburse the employee the right amount. Just like that.

By the way: The per diem module will soon be enriched with hotel allowances. So stay tuned!
