Credit Card
Comment - The option to pay using a credit card is absent.
Answer - The division is currently working to streamline the reporting process for various expenses, particularly for travel expenses, to facilitate reimbursement. To achieve this, our department is exploring advanced solutions for reporting and payment. The solution under consideration may also include the option to independently submit expenses via an advanced application.
Receipts
Comment - Why is it necessary to actually print out original receipts?
Answer - The need to submit original receipts for travel expenses is supported by tax regulations the Technion must adhere to. However, we are currently digitizing the reporting process, allowing for file attachments. This is currently under development in cooperation with IT.
Travel Reports Abroad
Comment - The time interval for handling travel expenses is far too long.
Answer - The need for documenting travel expenses via a central travel report is a legal requirement imposed by law. However, the team handling this matter has been short-staffed for several months. Currently, the response time has been shortened to a maximum of one month from submission.
