Company Expenses

We're excited to announce that we have added a new financial transaction type, Company Expenses. The new transaction type represents the company’s expenses paid on behalf of employees, such as outsourcing fees and levy fees that the company pays to third-party companies for outsourced employees. The Company Expenses are shown on the employee profile, which can only be viewed by the role Super Admin, Financial Officer, and read-only Financial Employee, but can’t be viewed by the employee.
