# The LSA that doesn't become a _second_ job

Give employees a flexible Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) they can use at any vendor within your policy while you run the program in about **30 minutes a month**. Compt automates tax treatment and payroll reporting so you don’t have to.

Pay-as-you-go: Zero prefunding required — you only pay for what your team actually uses.

## How Compt LSAs _work_ (end-to-end)

## Set guardrails _once_

Forget manual tracking. Design a program as simple or as robust as you need by deciding exactly what qualifies for reimbursement. Set budgets and eligibility rules based on location, department, seniority, or custom groups — then let Compt enforce them automatically.

## Employees spend _anywhere_

Give your team flexibility without vendor restrictions. Employees buy from their preferred local or global vendors using their own cards, meaning they keep their points and miles, while you avoid the “card declined” support tickets. They simply upload a photo of the receipt in seconds.

## Compt automates the   admin & tax _logic_

Skip the withholding math. As claims come in, Compt automatically identifies and applies the correct tax treatment for you. Instead of manually adjusting payroll every month, you get a single file that turns hours of data entry into a 30-minute review and one-click payroll sync.

**Why reimbursement is the _smarter_ move for _LSAs_**

**Zero Waste:** With cards or pre-funded wallets, your cash is tied up before it’s even spent. With Compt, your money stays in your bank account. If an employee doesn’t use their stipend, that budget stays with you.

**Benefit-Specific Tax Logic:**

Expense tools don’t know the difference between a taxable gym membership and a tax-free home office desk. Compt identifies the difference automatically, saving the company and the employee money on every paycheck.

**Visible Appreciation:**

Stipends shouldn’t feel invisible. By syncing directly to payroll, reimbursements appear as clear line items on the paycheck, making the benefit visible and appreciated where it matters most.

## Guardrails you _control_

You decide what’s covered, who’s eligible, and how budgets work — without turning HR into the receipt police.

#### Custom program logic

Set eligible categories, spending caps (like $50/mo or $500/yr), and frequency.

Assign budgets by location, department, seniority, or custom cohorts (ERGs, “President’s Club,” new managers).
