Are You Paying Your Own Out-of-Pocket Expenses?
Reimbursement of business expenses is a key issue when it comes to total compensation for employees. Many companies have illegal policies of expecting their employees to cover their own business expenses upfront, then denying reimbursement or not reimbursing the full, legal amount. For mileage in California, for example, the IRS rate is now fifty cents per mile. Your employer is taking the tax deduction. Are you getting the full amount you are entitled to?
