What substantiation of expenses is required?
Employers must implement “reasonable procedures” to ensure that employees have actually incurred expenses equal to the amount of reimbursement being requested by the employee. The regulations state that an employee’s substantiation (signed claim form) plus a parking receipt or used transit pass will suffice. If receipts are not provided such as in metered parking situations, an employee certification alone is adequate. An employee certification in either written or electronic form is adequate. Note: It is unacceptable for the employee to certify in advance that the employee will incur the expense at some future date.
