Los Angeles Wage Reimbursement Lawyers

Employees often need to spend money in order to do their jobs.

Types of Reimbursement-Eligible Expenses

• Travel expenses, such as gas, and including a reasonable mileage reimbursement
• Cell phone expenses if the employer requires the employee to carry a cell phone
• Computers, calculators, and other pieces of equipment not provided by your employer but required to perform your job
• Meals and entertainment paid for by employees in service to the business
• Cost of attendance at work-related seminars and conventions

In 2012, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) maintained a standard mileage reimbursement rate for business travel of 55.5 cents per mile, which has been altered several times since then but remains similar today. Furthermore, Labor Code section 2802 has been interpreted to require that employers compensate their employees for certain legal expenses incurred defending lawsuits stemming from conduct within the scope of their employment. Even employees working from a home office are entitled to reimbursement of business expenses in certain instances.
