Finance–HR Handoff: The Hidden Claim Bottleneck
Claims slow down when HR “finishes training” and finance “starts paperwork” with no shared folder standard.
One process, two functions
HR owns learning operations. Finance owns money recovery. Without a handoff checklist, each assumes the other holds the missing document — and the claim ages in a shared inbox.
The failure pattern
- Attendance lives in a trainer’s email attachment
- Invoice sits in procurement while outline sits in L&D
- Nobody records replacements or early leavers while memory is fresh
- Finance opens the file three weeks later and rebuilds from fragments
Shared minimum pack (transfer within 3 working days)
- Final attendance (scanned same day if possible)
- Programme outline actually delivered
- Invoice and payment status
- Trainer type note
- Exception log: withdrawals, short hours, name replacements
Operating rhythm
Schedule a 20-minute handoff after every programme run. Same agenda every time. Name one claim owner on the calendar invite so ownership is visible.
Make claim readiness part of programme design
