Default Tags for an Employee
It would be helpful to have default tags associated with employees. This could be done under the Admin Tab> Policy> People and Settings. If we could enter default tags for each employee this would help expenses be categorized faster and more accurately. It would probably be necessary to leave the tags editable on an expense at the employee level, but just a default tag would be nice.

We had to implement something similar, but ended up having to use embedded tags to get this to work.
We have a three segment GL. Office, Cost Center (job department), and account. We added embedded tags for this. It's kind of a pain because our users have to select them every time. I believe if you use stand alone tags instead of embedded tags, expensify should 'remember' their prior selection, and default to it in the future.
Feel free to let me know if you are curious more about how we use this. It was a beast to implement, but if you have stand alone tags/cost centers, it should be much easier for you.

Now that I understand your idea better, (adding default tags to the employee level, as your title suggests), I can only get up on my chair and pump my fists YES YES YES.
Even though I wouldn't be able to use this feature since we have to have embedded tags since our GLs are dependent and roll up to different accounts, this would be so helpful from an Enterprise account level for other companies using or considering using Expensify.

Sticky tag selection is nice, but default is best!

0 · Accept Answer Off Topic Insightful Vote Up Awesome@SWalsh_2019 Because the tag options differ for each company's policy, it's been difficult to find a way to do this that works for everyone. Disabling tag levels creates a wide array of problems.
Employees can set their own default tags by using the Expense Rules feature in their account settings. Rules can be created to apply to all expenses by entering "." in the merchant name field.
