Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Re: Lost of travel expenses incurred for company

You should bring the issue up with the company, and document the issue in writing. If the company does not comply and/or fails to provide a reasonable explination, you should consult with an attorney. You may also pursue the matter with the Department of Labor but may be able to gain a quicker resolution with an attorney. If you are in the area and desire further consultation, please feel free to give me a call.

Re: Lost of travel expenses incurred for company

If you still have all of your documentation on each of these expenses, go to your local office for the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement and file an action for recovery of these expenses.(http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/DistrictOffices.htm)

Any employer is required by Calif. law to pay any expenses incurred by an employee on behalf of the employer. The "30 day policy" does not relieve the employer of its legal duty to pay your expenses under Labor Code 2802.

Be prepared to fully document each expense, including why, where and how it was spent and why and how it was in the benefit of the company and/or at the direction of the company to incurr that expense.
