Direct Pay makes managing your expenses easier
Published: 05-Dec-11
With the implementation of Direct Pay, managing your business expenses just got simpler. Direct Pay is the process where Deloitte pays American Express directly, on your behalf, for your business expenses that have been imported into DTE.
There is no change to billing dates, the point rewards program, or the way you enter your expenses.
Direct Pay will begin for U.S. professionals with expense reports dated December 17 (U.S. India professionals are not part of Direct Pay at this time.)
The process is simple:
• Use your American Express corporate card for business expenses
• Import your expenses into DTE
• Deloitte pays American Express for the imported expenses
Professionals will still be responsible for paying American Express directly for any minor non-business corporate card charges, or any American Express business charges that are manually entered into DTE. To help you with this process, there is a new tool in DTE that reconciles your monthly American Express charges to what you have imported.
Sweet Baby Jesus, it doesn’t take much to excite the Green Dots these days, does it? It’s impossible for us to tell whether or not our contributor is a traveling worker bee or the executive assistant of some traveling Big Wig (Joey E!), but it doesn’t really matter because they are SUPER PSYCHED. Is this what it’s come to for us? Forget about holiday bonuses or even some free schwag; filing expense reports just got only slightly marginally sorta kinda maybe better. No word yet on a charge code for the strip joint, errrr “Big Ben’s Steakhouse.” Continue to pay those charges with your excess per diem.
So this got us thinking. What other kinds of techy improvements would improve your lives at work? Some off-the-cuffers:
1. Partner calls sent straight to voicemail.
2. Starbucks, delivered.*
3. The ability to work from home and have a work/life bal…oh wait. Nevermind.
Who is else in a dizzy tizzy about Big D’s technological advancement? Spill your joys below.
*Interns do not count.
“Reply and let me know your thoughts.”??? for real? I would have replied with a big F-U.
High stress profession, OCD on details nothing can ever be simple always complicated and re repeat and re prove abs re create transactions that are meaningless. People are miserable to work with, it’s all competition and corporate shill personalities.
Or business is good and Deloitte needs to increase hiring.
Deloitte leaders need to take some leadership courses. They don’t promote or push out people and have a succession issues so then they freak out and hire from their IJV office in India but then they realize those hires don’t have the market connections in North America…
It’s a joke they keep schilling that culture will help them beat competition but without a hard look at how leaders treat junior staff what do you expect? You can’t hire the best people with terrible pay. I don’t know why anyone woould stay at Deloitte long there’s no up side, miniscule bonus if that, and terrible pay. Get the name and get the f** out.
You are 100% They cut too deep, and now they have major shortages across all the service lines. From what I hear, there will be another wave of departures coming very soon. I just spoke to couple of friends that work for one of their most profitable and fastest growing groups (Cyber Risk Services/Cyber Security) and the rumor is that the highly anticipated raises and bonuses next month will be more than underwhelming for that group. If true, this is a huge opportunity for their competitors or any organization looking for cyber security talent as they are one of the top in that area. Time to make some money off of referrals:)))
I heard about the “underwhelming” bonuses/raises too. I work in the Advisory group and I think it’s across the entire group not just the Cyber Risk Services. Folks were expecting significant compensation as the dates for the raises/bonuses were even shifted (from September to June) to prevent people from leaving, but if they are nowhere near as expected there will be mass departures as people are overworked and getting burnt out. Hope it’s just rumors as otherwise I’ll be one of those joining the mass departures.
They are doing this to kick people off of unemployment. if they offer an ex-employee collecting UI a position and it’s turned down, that person is no longer eligible for UI. And that helps the employers UI rating.
That’s not have unemployment insurance works.
Deloitte has never taken care of his employees concern…it’s sad to see such a big company doesn’t have ethics and still growing big.
Toilet: Flush it
Glad to be out of there. Still old boys network
