Using the New System – EASY
The EASY system can be accessed from any internet connected device i.e. Mobile Phones, iPad, Laptop, Desktop Computer.
As the new system EASY, doesn’t go live until 1st April 2022, we are focusing on asking staff and managers to bring claims up to date in EOL, and trying to avoid any confusion between systems. For these reason, we are currently releasing only very generalised information about the new system.
As we approach we’ll begin sharing EASY log on details towards the end of March 2022.
Log on Details
-
Staff who have claimed expenses in the past 12 months.
-
Generally, all staff have to self register to claim expenses. However, if you have climed expenses already since April 2021, your account will already have been created for you, and you will be sent your username and details of how to log onto the new system on 1st April 2022. The email will be sent to the email address that is held for you in ESR. Further details to follow.
-
-
Staff who have:
-
not claimed expenses in the last 12 months, or
-
new staff starting on or after 1st March 2022 who will need to claim expenses.

Validating your Drivers Licence and Business Insurance Details
Our new expenses system automatically makes a number of checks on the Trust’s behalf. It checks that anyone claiming for mileage has:
- A valid drivers licence (for both private and lease vehicles)
- Business insurance to use the vehicle they are traveling in on Trust business (for Private vehicles only)
As the above details are not currently held in our system the following actions are required –
You will have until 31/05/22 to upload your driving licence number and a copy of your vehicle business insurance details if using a private car into the EASY system. You will not need to upload a copy of your business insurance details, if you are using a lease car. Your manager will then need to approve these details before 30.06.2022.
Provided that the above is done, you will be able to continue to claim expenses beyond 01.07.2022.
If the above actions is not completed, then unfortunately, you’ll no longer be able to make expense claims until the required action is taken.
You will be asked to upload your driving licence number and a copy of your vehicle business insurance details if using a private car into the EASY system. You will not need to upload a copy of your business insurance details, if you are using a lease car. Your manager will then need to approve these details before you are able to make a claim for business mileage expenses. User guide to follow with the rollout of the new system.
You will be asked to enter your driving licence details only at the point of self registering on the EASY system. The lease car company will have arranged your business insurance and this does not need to be validated.
