The reimbursement process starts when a technologist pays for something out of their own pocket that Andela or the client intended to cover, such as meals or gifts. Sometimes, a client might want to treat technologists to a meal or gift on a particular day. Other times, your Andela manager may organize a team bonding activity. These requests are communicated to the Procurement team, who will then share the details with the technologists.
Reimbursements usually occur when the Procurement team can't use gift cards, meal apps, or other platforms to treat technologists directly. If you find yourself in one of these situations, the Procurement Team will inform you of the specific amount allocated to you and what it should cover.
Important Notes:
- If you have requests that aren't for meals, please contact the Procurement team first. They have a USD card for online purchases and can assist you with buying from local stores.
- Please buy only what the Procurement team has specified. If the amount shared is intended for a meal, please stick to that only, as purchasing anything else won't qualify for reimbursement.
- Always keep your purchase receipt. You'll need to share this with Procurement for reimbursement.
- Remember, purchases have a 3-week window. If you purchase more than 3 weeks after the request date, Andela won't be able to reimburse you.
- You can spend more than the approved amount, but you'll only be reimbursed for the approved amount.
- For full-time employees, the transfer will occur one week after you submit your receipts.
- For contractors, the reimbursement will be included with your next paycheck sent to Andela Pay.
