How do you handle cash tips/gratuity?
How do you handle cash tips?
Often in Europe, travelers can not add tips to the credit card charge. They then have to add a second expense item for the cash tip. The cash portion may be reimbursable, while the credit card charge may be non-reimbursable. I wish Expensify had functionality to handle this better.
Also, we have employees that leave tips for the housekeeping staff at hotels. How does Expensify handle this situation? Wish there was some better functionality & guidance from Expensify.

Hey @Daveweez !
Typically, our best practice suggestion is to manually create the tip expense separately. However, if your credit card posts the grand total (purchase + tip) you can utilize the Split Expense feature!
If your card is a company card managed in Expensify by your admin, and your admin has your credit card settings set to Personal Liability, you can control the reimbursable status if each expense.
If your card is a personal card, then you can always control the reimbursable setting of every expense and every split expense.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have more questions.

Agree with Daveweez, this needs to be addressed. 15%-20% of any expenditure cumulatively is a lot of money. With al the different modes of payment these days around the world especially in Asia (where I am) need to address each scenario and upgrade the softeware.
