No More Physical Paperwork

The company I work for recently changed the way we have to turn in reports and receipts. And so far it has kind of been a rough transition. Well at least it has been for me because I’m not all that techno savvy. I can use the fax machine just fine. I can use the copier fine too. But instead of actually turning in physical reports and copies of receipts it all has to be digital.

So the new drill now is that we have to scan everything that is on paper in. For all of the old paperwork they had a special company come in that was a document imaging service. And I will admit that I can see where in the long run this will save a lot of paper.

But now instead of just stapling my reports together and turning them in, I have to do everything electronically. Some of my reports can just be turned in by emailing them without even printing them out. And that’s easy enough. But the difficult part is when I have to turn in receipts. Instead of making copies now I have to scan them in. Then I have to remember to save it a special way. I suppose I’ll catch on, but right now it’s a pain.
