Do we have to pay the allowances to the staff from the bank?
Our company wants to pay an allowance for food and accommodation expenses of our staff who are sent abroad by duty. Since it is difficult to use a bank account abroad, we want to pay our staff in cash if possible. We kindly request your opinion on the matter.
Allowances are recognized as salaries. They must be paid through the bank. The employees open a currency account in Turkey and the allowances are deposited to those accounts. Employees withdraw the money from the bank and spend it via credit card.
