Calendar connection

The ICS link is saved only on this device and reused for future claims.

Regular additional expense

Passenger names and passenger miles are both required when either is entered. Expenses share the existing description and amount columns in the claim form; combined costs are added together. You can edit individual rows in the claim form.

You can import an ICS file instead. It stays on this device, but it will not refresh automatically, so you must download and import an updated file regularly.

How PIER Handles Your Data

Your claim data stays safely stored on your device. PIER only collects a minimal amount of anonymous information to keep the app running smoothly and help us make improvements.

How Live Calendars Work

When you sync a live calendar, our system briefly uses your calendar link to fetch your schedule. We never save the link or the contents of your calendar.

Help & tutorial

  1. Setup: connect a calendar and enter the details used on the claim form. Add a sample signature and optionally configure reminders.
  2. Shifts: choose one or more claim months, then check every imported shift. Study-related events appear in orange and default to “Do not claim”.
  3. Claim form: review each document preview. Tap or click a preview, or use Edit table, to change individual cells. Then sign and save the selected PDFs.
  4. Expense log: use the local log to track submitted claims. Delete an entry if it should no longer be included in the cumulative total.

Backups: use the save icon to create a backup of tabs 1 and 4. This is particularly important before clearing browser data or changing device.

This tool assists with form preparation only. You remain responsible for checking eligibility and accuracy against Trust and payroll rules.
