You’ll probably need to buy some things in the course of your job. We have a fairly simple process below to handle expenses. We make an effort to hire trustworthy, responsible people, so to a large extent you’re expected to use good judgment on what is a business expense and what isn’t. But there are some guidelines here to keep in mind, just in case.
All policy specifics are found in The Library. Expense information can be found in the links below:
Ruby Hotels
