What is your most hated task

My most hated task is dealing with credit card receipts for our staff. I have about 10 card holders, so not actually too onerous - the hardest part is getting all the receipts in. Mostly service engineers who travel around, so plenty of screwfix receipts etc, usually that have floated round the van glovebox (or floor) for a few weeks.

That's before I get started on foreign travel trips etc.

I have tried various entreaties etc, so last month I brought out the bigger guns and withheld an amount from payroll for any receipts not handed in. (we do reserve that right on the expense claims).

It went against how I normally work, and I then made priority payments to the staff as soon as I got the receipts, but it seems to have had the desired effect.

Messing about with till rolls just seems so unproductive really. Everything we buy has vat on, and it just seems so pedantic. No-one stays in Hull Travelodge for fun, as far as I am concerned - not having travelled as far as it would be from our factory anyway.

This month was easier than last though, so hopefully things will improve.
