First time using our Claims module? Here is the complete guide for you, consists of three parts :

Claims settings

Submitting claims

Linking claims to payroll

Claims settings

Go to Claims tab, click Settings.

The settings page has been moved, click "click here" to be re-directed to that page.

Here is where you can setup claims categories. Use the pencil icon to edit the name of the category or description and rubbish bin icon to remove it. Click on the + sign to view the description of the claims.
On the right, you can set the limit for each category by Transaction, Monthly and Yearly for your employees, for example, if you set RM200 for monthly limit, it would mean that every month, each employee's limit for that category is limited to RM200. Once that limit is reached, the employee will not be able to submit claims from that category. You may also disable that category if it is not applicable to your company.

Use Add Category, to create a new category.

By ticking this setting, an email will be sent to the manager once a claim has been submitted. Companies with a lot of employees would usually turn this setting off, because the manager would be flooded with too many claims submission emails.

If employees are required to submit an attachment when submitting a claims, do tick this setting.

In the Claims List, if you wish to also view terminated employees' claims, feel free to enable it here.

This will affect claims' limit that is set in Categories and "Apply the same date to claims cut-off date" will affect payroll.

If you have extra information that employees need to fill in when they are submitting a claims, you can creat it here.

You can change the currency symbol of claims and this is only applicable to claims module. It will apply to all claims and not just specific claims submitted.

If your company practices mileage claims, select the category that is applicable to this and add the rate per km and click + to add it. When employees submit a claim that is applicable to mileage claims, they can key in the km travelled and our system will calculate the amount automatically.

If specific employee(s)/group(s)/department(s) have different limits than others, you can setup the limit here.

For example: Create a user group to categorize their limit on claims category. As above, Branch A group has 15 employees and each individual within Branch A can apply up to RM100 monthly for Employee Transport.

If you have a different claims approval workflow, use "Create new approval workflow" to create one that suits your company.

This is where you can customize everything. If you set two people next to each other, it means that they are the same level and if one person is above the other, it means that the one above is the approver. You can also choose the employees or groups that are part of this workflow.
