Employee Stipend Policy Template

Write a Stipend Policy That Doesn't Create More Work Than It Solves

Stipends sound simple until they're not. Who's eligible, what counts, what doesn't, how do people access it, and who handles the receipts. Those questions pile up fast when there's no written policy behind the benefit.

This fill-in-the-blank template covers eligibility, amounts, cadence, approved categories, reimbursement guidelines, tax notes, and employee FAQs. Everything HR needs to launch a stipend program that's clear for employees and manageable for the team running it.

Use the template and get a clean, ready-to-ship stipend policy without starting from a blank page.
