Now I'd like to think that my former employer didn't think this of us, but if you think about it, it begins to cost so much to deal with the paperwork. We weren't exactly cheap employees and did our expenses on work time. For me to deal with the expenses from an average 5 day, week long trip, all in, was probably $60-80 payroll in labor, between entering it all into Concur, organizing receipts (because they wanted the hard copies too), taking screenshots of the credit card activity (because F us), and then circling back with my admin when she inevitably didn't understand something or screwed it up (50/50 chance at what it was, but was always something).

And that's excluding the time of the folks in accounts payable who had to review it all.
