Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia

Unifrom Reimbursement Responsibility

Our service tech went to changed a surface mounted door closer at a facility because it was leaking oil. The oil dripped on an employee's unifrom, so the tech wrote our company would reimburse $50. Our controller forgot since it was quarter end, however, the manager keeps calling using profanity wanting the $50 and indicated the employee isn't going to be working there anymore. She has not furnished any type of evidence indicating oil spilled on the uniform (we were just told that) nor any type of receipt for the new uniform - are we legally responsible to reimburse the $50 since we were just doing it as a professional courtesy?
