Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland

A few thoughts:

1.) Employers are allowed a reasonable time to reimburse. 60-90 days seems excessive, even for the biggest of corporations.

2.) Speak with your employer about paying you up front for your business expenses above a certain level, say $50. That should cover airfare, hotels, most meals, and at the same time not make it look like you are trying to nickle and dime your employer.

3.) Some employers trust their employees enough to give them AMEX business cards. A written policy can be signed by the employee that states that any charges that are ultimately not approved by the company are the responsibility of the employee.

4.) I'm not sure about the tax deduction question and can't give you tax advice regardless -- this question is better suited for a CPA or accountant.
