Particularly right around career transition points, there are quite a few folks in professional jobs who would have substantially negative utility from floating their employer $1,000 to $3,000 for 30 to 90 days.

(The only reason I wouldn't suggest "Company pays for everything on its own payment methods by default" is that this takes a bit of friction all of the time and that it is a true thing that putting business travel on one's own card is considered a de-facto perk by some folks.)

Also, have mentioned this before, but MAKE DOUBLE PLUS SURE you make this offer for candidates. You have far, far less expectation that a candidate will be in a good financial situation than your employees will be, and they have less reason to trust your payment timeline.

I did this for my wider team at two startups; their rooms, etc, would go on my card and keep them relatively worry and debt free. This was pre-rideshare though, so cabs were still a common problem. I imagine corporate uber/lyft accounts are a thing now?

They are.

I’ve been minutes from quitting a job over a $24 travel dinner expense refusal. That’s on the order of minutes of my billable time & I’m financially secure. The message from the company is “we don’t trust you with trivial decisions”

We also kept the rule from our startup days that the most senior person in the party pays all dining/drink tabs.
-
That usually trickles down from big-company expense ethics: the most senior person pays so they can't order a junior to file and then approve it themselves. (A good idea for other reasons, but that's the usual source...)

I'd also add "if you have a preference, tell us which flights you'd like to take". I've heard far too many stories of people ending up on inconvenient flights because they didn't know they could pick.

It’s actually been occasionally tricky to convince a hotel desk clerk to put 6 rooms on one card, *including* incidentals. But we get there in the end. Having people pay for their own breakfast and expense it is just a waste of time/cheap play on them forgetting to file.
