Financial
Billable Travel Expenses
When traveling on business billable to a client or partner, in the absence of a specific agreement, Finance shall bill the client/partner for HolacracyOne’s actual expenses incurred in alignment with IRS rules and guidelines for allowed reimbursable travel expenses, less any expenses incurred directly for business development or relationship building purposes with that client/partner and tagged as such by the individual traveler (e.g. taking the client to dinner). To the extent such rules/guidelines are fuzzy or leave any grey area in Finance’s reasonable assessment, Finance shall make the judgment call on what is reimbursable by HolacracyOne to HolacracyOne staff, and within those deemed reimbursable shall defer to the judgment of the individual traveler on which should be billed to the client/partner vs. absorbed by HolacracyOne.
Cash Prioritizations
If we can't honor all cash outlay commitments in a given timeframe, HolacracyOne shall prioritize cash outlays first towards the basic survival of the organization, then in order of decreasing levels of harm caused to parties outside of HolacracyOne (such that those for whom a missed payment would cause more harm are paid before those for whom it would cause less harm), and then, within a given tier of harm, in order of HolacracyOne's preferences for meeting its goals. That is, should there be a cash shortfall, beyond basic survival-needs, HolacracyOne shall prioritize decreasing harm to others before meeting its own preferences and goals.
