20130226750 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING EMPLOYEE-LIABLE EXPENSES - A method for managing payments made as part of an employee-liable expense reimbursement program is described. A plurality of employees are enrolled in the program and submit requests for reimbursement for expenses related to a service provided to the employees by a service provider for which the employees are liable. The method includes receiving, by the computer system, requests for reimbursement and aggregating the requests for reimbursement scheduled for payment within a predefined time period and associated with the service provider. The method also includes generating an invoice, using the computer system that includes a payment amount to be paid to the first service provider. The method also includes automatically requesting funds from an employer of the plurality of employees for the payment amount included in the invoice and electronically transferring, using the computer system, funds associated with the employer to the service provider. | 08-29-2013 |
