|
||
---
|
||
|
||
Fairly frequently, you might run into situations when you need to spend company money.
|
||
|
||
|
||
# Expensing Meals
|
||
|
||
As a perk of working at Infisical, we cover some of your meal expenses.
|
||
|
||
**HQ team members**: meals and unlimited snacks are provided **on-site** at no cost.
|
||
|
||
**Remote team members**: a food stipend is allocated based on location.
|
||
|
||
# Trivial expenses
|
||
|
||
We don't want you to be slowed down because you're waiting for an approval to purchase some SaaS. For trivial expenses – **Just do it**.
|
||
|
||
This means expenses that are:
|
||
1. Non-recurring AND less than $75/month in total.
|
||
2. Recurring AND less than $20/month.
|
||
|
||
<Note>
|
||
Please spend money in a way that you think is in the best interest of the company.

# Travel
|
||
|
||
If you need to travel on Infisical’s behalf for in-person onboarding, meeting customers, and offsites, again please spend money in the best interests of the company.
|
||
|
||
We do not pre-approve your travel expenses, and trust team members to make the right decisions here. Some guidance:
|
||
|
||
- Please find a flight ticket that is reasonably priced. We all travel economy by default – we cannot afford for folks to fly premium or business class. Feel free to upgrade using your personal money/airmiles if you’d like to.
|
||
- Feel free to pay for the Uber/subway/bus to and from the airport with your Brex card.
|
||
- For business travel, Infisical will cover reasonable expenses for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
|
||
- When traveling internationally, Infisical does not cover roaming charges for your phone. You can expense a reasonable eSIM, which usually is no more than $20.
|
||
|
||
<Note>
|
||
Note that this only applies to business travel. It is not applicable for personal travel or day-to-day commuting.

# Equipment
|
||
|
||
Infisical is a remote first company so we understand the importance of having a comfortable work setup. To support this, we provide allowances for essential office equipment.
|
||
|
||
### 1. Desk & Chair
|
||
|
||
Most people already have a comfortable desk and chair, but if you need an upgrade, we offer the following allowances.
|
||
While we're not yet able to provide the latest and greatest, we strive to be reasonable given the stage of our company.
|
||
|
||
**Desk**: $150 USD
|
||
|
||
**Chair**: $150 USD
|
||
|
||
### 2. Laptop
|
||
Each team member will receive a company-issued Macbook Pro before they start their first day.
|
||
|
||
### 3. Notes
|
||
|
||
1. All equipment purchased using company allowances remains the property of Infisical.
|
||
2. Keep all receipts for equipment purchases and submit them for reimbursement.
|
||
3. If you leave Infisical, you may be required to return company-owned equipment.
|
||
|
||
Please note that we're unable to offer a split payment option where the Infisical pays half and you pay half for equipment exceeding the allowance.
|
||
This is because we don't yet have a formal HR department to handle such logistics.
|
||
|
||
For any equipment related questions, please reach out to Maidul.
|
||
|
||
|
||
# Brex
|
||
|
||
We use Brex as our primary credit card provider. Don't have a company card yet? Reach out to Maidul.
|
||
|
||
### Budgets
|
||
|
||
You will generally have multiple budgets assigned to you. "General Company Expenses" primarily covers quick SaaS purchases (not food). Remote team members should have a "Lunch Stipend" budget that applies to food.
|
||
|
||
If your position involves a lot of travel, you may also have a "Travel" budget that applies to expenses related to business travel (e.g., you can not use it for transportation or food during personal travel).
|
||
|
||
### Saving receipts
|
||
|
||
Make sure you keep copies for all receipts. If you expense something on a company card and cannot provide a receipt, this may be deducted from your pay.
|
||
|
||
You should default to using your company card in all cases - it has no transaction fees. If using your personal card is unavoidable, please reach out to Maidul to get it reimbursed manually.
|
||
|
||
### Need a one-off budget increase?
|
||
|
||
You can do this directly within Brex - just request the amount and duration for the relevant budget in the app, and your hiring manager will automatically be notified for approval.

# Training
|
||
|
||
For engineers, you’re welcome to take an approved Udemy course. Please reach out to Maidul. For the GTM team, you may buy a book a month if it’s relevant to your work.
