When employees of your company travel for work, they may ask you for money back. When the trip is over, the employees are paid back for the money they spent.
When the trip is over, employees fill out a travel reimbursement claim form and show proof of how much they spent. Most of the time, employees claim expenses that have to do with travel. But that doesn't always have to be the case. There may be times when the worker uses the money for something else. For instance, one of your employees might set up a meeting for the company. Sometimes, employees have to pay for office supplies and other small items that they can later claim as business expenses. The petty cash fund can be used to pay for small expenses that can be paid with cash.
