A Contractor's Guide to Expenses

JSA’s policy on expense claims

To ensure expense claims are processed and paid as quickly as possible, you need to make sure of the following: -

All claims are for expenses incurred wholly, exclusively and necessarily in performing your business duties. You don’t submit any travel and subsistence related claims for any one place you have worked, or know you will work, for more than 2 years
You don’t claim for expenses incurred prior to joining JSA
You don’t submit any travel and subsistence related claims if your first assignment is the only assignment you expect to take as an employee of JSA
Where receipts are required to be sent to JSA, you must send the originals (not photocopies) as without these you cannot be paid.
For certain allowances (subsistence and accommodation) whilst you do not have to send receipts to JSA, you do need to keep them
You always submit all the necessary documentation associated with any particular claim, such as a signed cover sheet and receipts for items which require them
You can make one claim per payroll, but you should only include expenses incurred during the period of work. Once processed, further items can’t be added

Here is a list that- depending on your circumstances – outlines what you could be entitled to claim on expenses.
