Unreimbursed Expenses
California law requires that employers reimburse employees for expenses and/or losses incurred by employees for the benefit of the employer. California law provides that the penalty for failing to reimburse an employee includes the expenses plus interest.
Examples of reimbursable expenses include, but are not limited to, the following:
Fuel and maintenance costs for the business use of your personal vehicle.
Business travel costs such as airfare, hotels, and ground transportation.
Cost of personal mobile phone and/or plan if required for work.
Cost of uniforms.
Cost of tools and equipment required to perform work.
Increased utility expenses as a result of being required to work from home.
These are just a few examples of the types of expenses that must be reimbursed under California law. Others exist.
