Why Not Reimbursement Footwear Programs?

June 25, 2024


Many companies incorporate a version of receipt reimbursement and management for safety
footwear. Hoping to simplify a seemingly enormous task to something easier. But what if
reimbursement programs are not making it simple?

Questions To Ask About Your Processes
● How do you distribute the requirements when someone needs footwear?
● Will there be a form the employee fills out to request reimbursement?
● Who at the company is available for any questions pertaining to approved footwear the
employee may have?
● How do you verify if the footwear meets your company requirements when they submit the
receipt or form?
● Does everyone understand the standards required?
● Are you going to have a footwear review process before they can use them at work?
● Are you going to monitor staff in making sure they are wearing the boots and did not return
them after being reimbursed?
● Are there procedures in place to prevent multiple reimbursements for the same receipt?

Streamline Your Safety Footwear Program Voucher programs ultimately simplify this entire process so you can divert time and resources to other important tasks. Voucher programs cover a few basics reimbursement does not.

Simplified Selection
Eliminate confusion and ensure compliance. Employees receive custom vouchers which list all the
footwear requirements they must have. A professional fitter at Modern Shoe guides them towards
options that meet employees needs and company standards. Staff only complete transactions that
meet all specified requirements.

Streamlined Transactions
Any possible returns would only be credited to the company, not the employee. The subsidy specified
would be returned to your company account and refunded by our accounting team. The employee
gets zero access to it, eliminating the risk of them pocketing the subsidy after returning the shoes to
the store they got it from after being reimbursed.

Effortless Administration
Our dedicated accounting team does the paperwork for you, making it simple and easy to manage.
You receive a clear, itemized invoice via email with employee names and amounts due. Making it
quick and easy to process. Saving countless hours of time verifying the purchased items, doing billing calculations for each employee, verifying the totals add up to the receipt, input into the payroll system, and many more tedious details that are now handled by our team.
