They do but it automatically routes through the technology. It checks who the applicant's manager is to approve it and what is the limit. An alert is automatically sent saying, "You are the manager. Can you approve this?" The receipts are scanned so the manager is then accountable for approving the payment. Once the manager approves it, it comes to my office for the payment to be administered.
