Sometimes when you fill out a reimbursement form, they want you to 'please attach copy of receipt'. Is 'copy of receipt' the photocopy of  the receipt, or the original receipt?

Thanks.

"copy of" is the photocopy.

otherwise, it would say "attach orginals of all receipts"

Hi,

We've had a number of questions about 'a reimbursement form'. I'd like to point out that, at least in my business experience, a more common term is some variant of expense form, claim for expenses, expense claim.

Best wishes, Clive

Barb and Clive,

Thanks loads.

Clive, now that your commented on it,  I do feel 'reimbursement form' is a little bit strange; 'claim for expense' or maybe 'reimbursement request'  is probably better.

We actually do use "reimbursement form" in the U.S. where I live/work. It's not unnatural at all.

I concur - that's exactly what it's called in all the places I've worked.

Thanks for clearing that up.
