**Note:**

1\. Kindly select "Payroll" as your reimbursement method. Learn more about claim types [here](https://help.swingvy.com/knowledge/claim-types-settings?hsLang=en)  
2\. Payroll items are additional items of Payroll. To see the additional items, go to Payroll Items.   
3\. Learn how to edit payroll addition items [here](https://help.swingvy.com/knowledge/payroll-items-additions-1?hsLang=en) 

   
However, you need to make sure that you are subscribed to the Payroll add on too in order to reimburse the claims into Payroll. Should this banner prompt out, this means Payroll is not available in your subscription plan. Kindly contact [Swingvy](https://www.swingvy.com/contact) from Monday to Friday 9 AM-9 PM (MYT/SGT) (exclude all Malaysia & Singapore public holidays)
