I would look into the contract you signed when you got employed. Also, you don't always have to agree to it. It you can ask for money upfront.
You should speak to an attorney specializing in wage and hour claims. There is no law requiring your employer to advance such costs, but by delaying the reimbursement, the employer may be running afoul of rules regarding the timeliness of payments.
