Refreshed limits and split rules for agreements — with a simple tracker approach for monitoring across concurrent engagements or multiple vendors, so you don’t miss contributions.
Meal benefits
Current framework for meal vouchers and cash equivalents, caps and taxation, and where teams most often misclassify expenses. Includes a short decision tree and cut-off checks.
Templates & checks
Updated checklists, “what changed” notes and ready-to-use examples so your team can adopt new rules with minimal downtime. Change log makes versioning audit-proof.
