From: Lance Shelly, Vice President - Accounting To: Managers, Wytell, Inc. Date: September 25 Attention all managers: ‘Thank you for your diligent efforts in tracking the travel expenses of the employees you supervise. As you know, we only began this practice in the last year. The decision was made as the company began to expand beyond a size where reimbursement could be managed informally. We are implementing the following changes and ask that you communicate them to your department, First, it has come to our attention that many employees do not feel that the current daily amount allowed for food expenses is enough. We are going to increase this allowance to $50 a day beginning on October 1. Second, we wish to trim expenses by requiring that employees make advance copies here at the office of any paperwork they will need while on business trips. When employees use commercial vendors to make copies, it tends to cost the company more than is necessary. As of November 1, we ask that you not approve any such expenses.
