Legal Question in Employment Law in Connecticut

I have a personal credit card that I use for work expenses and get reimbursed every month. Right now it has a $20,000 balance which my employer pays all of or part of every month.

I am worried if I quit, or the company gets sold or something that I will not get reimbursed. Do I have any rights, or since it is a personal credit card would I be stuck with the debt?

First of all, if you get reimbursed every month by your employer, why is there a $20,000 balance? Are the expenses approximately $20,000 a month?

I'm not sure if you have a written agreement that spells out your relationship when it comes to reimbrursement of expenses, but if you do, you should read it carefully to see if it has any provisions that state what happens to the balance owed if you no longer work for the company. If there is no agreement or there is nothing in an agreement addressing this issue, then it would be best if you got something in writing from your employer stating that you will be reimbursed regardless.
