Overview of Trips Feature

The Trips feature in Hyper allows employees to log, manage, and track business travel in a structured way. Whether traveling for client meetings, conferences, or internal offsites, Trips helps you group travel-related expenses under a single record for transparency, organization, and easier reimbursement.

By using Trips, users create a centralized travel record that can include flights, hotels, meals, mileage, and other business-related expenses. This not only improves clarity for the employee but also ensures finance teams have full context when reviewing reimbursements.

Key Benefits of Using Trips

  1. Centralized Travel Tracking: Easily group all expenses related to a single business trip.
  2. Improved Reimbursement Visibility: Attach receipts and expenses to trips so finance can review them in context.
  3. Streamlined Reporting: Clearly communicate purpose, dates, and destinations for each trip.
  4. Policy Alignment: Ensure travel expenses are submitted in accordance with your company’s travel policy.

When to Use Trips

Use the Trips feature any time you travel for work and plan to submit expenses associated with:
  1. Transportation (airfare, train, rideshare, driving, etc.)
  2. Lodging (hotels, Airbnb)
  3. Meals and per diems
  4. Mileage
  5. Conferences and registration fees
  6. Miscellaneous travel-related costs

Trip vs. Expense vs. Per Diem

  1. Trip: A container for all travel-related activity. You only need to create a trip once.
  2. Expense: A single cost (e.g., a taxi ride or dinner).
  3. Per Diem: A daily allowance based on location or company policy, which can be logged separately or linked to a trip.
