1 Orange Genie Cover Limited BUSINESS EXPENSES POLICY Page 1 of 8

2 What are business expenses? Business expenses are the costs you incur whilst performing the duties of an assignment whilst in our employment. They must be reasonable and must have been incurred wholly, exclusively and necessarily in the performance of your work duties. Business expenses do not include 1. a private/personal expense 2. ordinary commuting 3. an expense that has not been incurred How do I benefit? Income tax is not applied to legitimate business expenses that we pay you. e.g. if your total employment income from us is 1,000 and you have legitimately claimed 400 expenses, 600 will be paid as taxable income and 400 as expenses, which are non-taxable. Why am I able to benefit in this way? Overarching employment contract There is a shared expectation that you will continue to work for us on multiple, successive assignments at temporary workplaces. This is set out in; 1) your offer letter, which you signed when you accepted our offer of employment, and 2) your employment contract We are able to pay you legitimate business expenses incurred in travelling to and from the location of your assignment (temporary workplace). We will not pay your business expenses if; 1) you only expect to be employed by us for a single assignment. As there is no expectation of successive assignments, the workplace will be seen as permanent, or 2) you inform us of your intention to leave our employment at the end of your current assignment. The expectation of successive assignments is removed and the workplace will be seen as permanent. Page 2 of 8

3 Anything else I should know? The 24-month rule We will pay your travel expenses to a temporary workplace provided you expect to visit the workplace for less than 24 months. As soon as you expect to spend more than 24 months the workplace is deemed to be a permanent workplace and the travel becomes ordinary commuting. Once you expect to exceed 24 months at the site, we will not pay the costs for travel and associated expenses, namely subsistence and accommodation. For example, if you know from day 1 that your assignment will last for 24 months or longer, we will not allow you to claim business expenses for travelling to that workplace. Please be aware if you change workplace the change must have a substantial effect on your journey to work to be recognised as a separate workplace. If you travel to multiple workplaces over a 24 month period any workplace attended for 40% or more of your working time will be deemed as permanent. If you leave and come back to a particular workplace the 40% test will be applied. If the workplace is attended for 40% or more over a 24 month period travel, accommodation and subsistence claims will not be allowable. Our system will automatically restrict your ability to claim business expenses based on the information we hold. If you have any questions or require more information on the 24 month rule please contact our Employee Support team at helpme@orangegenie.com or call Verification and audits As part of our robust control processes, we carry out checks on business expense claims in order to satisfy ourselves that we are not making tax free payments incorrectly. We carry out a number of different checks, including Requesting proof of expenditure to back up claims for subsistence Checking claimed mileage against route planners Comparing expense claims with timesheets. At any time, we may have reason to remove an item from a business expense claim or disallow the entire claim. Page 3 of 8

4 Some basic rules You must submit your claims weekly or monthly to match your pay frequency. We will not accept back dated claims. Unapproved claims held on our portal for over 60 days will be removed. All expense claims must be for reasonable expenses that you have incurred wholly, exclusively and necessarily in performing your business duties. You cannot claim for expenses incurred before you became an employee of Orange Genie Cover Ltd. Where receipts are required, you must upload copies of the VAT receipts to correspond with your claim. The expense will not be allowed if you cannot produce a receipt. See VAT on page 13. We will not approve your claim until we have received all necessary and correct information Travel to work and subsistence expenses cannot be claimed when you have worked, or when you know you will work, more than 24 months at one location. When we receive your claim along with your uploaded receipts, we verify that everything has been submitted correctly and in line with our expense policy before approving your claim. You will need to submit your claim and upload your receipts at least 24 hours before you expect to be paid for it to be approved and included in your pay. If your claim and receipts are not submitted at least 24 hours before you expect to be paid, we are not able to guarantee that those expenses will be included with your next payment. Any expenses that are approved but not included in your pay will be paid with future payments. Please note, you must upload your receipts via the contractor portal in order for your claim to be prioritised. We cannot prioritise claims where receipts are either ed or posted to us. Reasons why your expense claim may not be processed in full You have not submitted the claim correctly or claimed for something that is not allowable You have not uploaded all the necessary receipts to support your claim. You have over-estimated your mileage claim; your claims are checked against the AA route planner. If significantly higher than indicated your claim will be adjusted. You have claimed daily subsistence without evidence of travel or a valid reason You have claimed for temporary accommodation which is too close to your normal recorded residence. There is insufficient taxable pay once you have been paid National Minimum Wage for the hours you have worked Page 4 of 8

5 Business expenses in detail What you are able to claim for Use of home as office Your home is designated as your permanent place of work and as you will be carrying out your administrative duties from home, you are allowed to claim an allowance for its use.

This is intended solely for use of the actual space, and does not include such other items as stationery etc, which may be claimed separately. Travel You can claim travel expenses when you have to attend a temporary workplace (or when you travel between temporary workplaces) in order to carry out your employment duties. Travel expenses include the actual cost of travel and the related subsistence rate.

Useful Guides and Information Guides relating to expenses can be found on the Genie Umbrella portal under the expenses section. Dispensation An employer can apply for a dispensation on some expenses and benefits it provides for its employees. This means the employer doesn t need to report those expenses to HMRC at the end of the tax year, and allows it to make tax free payments of expenses to its employees. HMRC have granted us a dispensation because they are satisfied that no additional tax or National Insurance contributions would be payable on the expenses and benefits included in this document and that we have suitably strong control processes in place to approve them. Having this dispensation in place makes it possible for us to carry out the process of paying your expenses as part of your pay, without having the administrative burden of processing P11d documents Page 8 of 8
