With increased frequency, Shared Services<\/span><\/strong> organizations<\/a> are giving employees the flexibility to work from home. A Peeriosity member recently commenced custom research to gather information regarding expense reimbursement policies for team members<\/a> who work from home either full-time or part-time (as part of their full-time role).<\/p>\n
