Stanley Saltzman: At Marlin and Saltzman we have handled many cases for employees dealing with the reimbursement of business expenses. Under California law employees are not permitted to be charged by their employer for business expenses related to the employer's business.

One of the primary examples related to unpaid mileage or gas reimbursement. We have had situations where employers have charged the employees for literally the products by which they do business.

Even if you've been required to sign a document by your employer that says you're going to bear that expense, that document is not binding in the court of law. One of the key methods we have to determine the total damages to be paid to the entire class is averaging. We will do studies based upon information available to us to determine what the average loss is for each of the class members and once that is determined the court has the power to award that statistical average as the damage for the entire class.
