    Default Re: Can I Sue My Employer for Failing to Reimburse Me

    Because if I did my boss would lose her mind. She's a loose cannon and this will set her off.

    This is directly from the policy:"If the employee travels directly to a
    customer’s place of business or to a seminar for the entire business day,
    the full amount of the mileage traveled qualifies as business mileage and
    may be claimed for reimbursement."

    Well, then I guess you have a choice to make. Give up the money because you are afraid that she will go bat-crap-crazy, or get your vorpal sword and face down your manxsome foe.

    Well, if she goes bat-crap-crazy she will likely look for a reason to let him go. So, if he likes the job and is paid well, he needs to consider that.

    Cool. So talk to your boss and/or HR. The alternative is to make a claim with the California Department of Labor. I suspect your boss will "lose her mind" if you do that too.

    If you call and ask the California Department of Labor, no one needs to lose their mind. You just ask, and the CADL will be glad to answer your question. Your employer need never know you called them. You explain the situation to them. They will tell you the answer. If you have the law on your side, then you certainly can speak to your employer with more authority. I honestly do not think that you do, as I have seen a lot of travel pay outs, and usually, in what I've seen, you were paid for mileage from your base workstation, rarely from your home, unless this was somehow negotiated at the time you started working at this job.

    It would be possible to have a forty mile commute from your home to the worksite, and someone else who works there have a three mile commute to the workstation. If both of these folks drive over to the other worksite in another town, should one be paid for forty miles more simply because they elect to live forty more miles from the central workstation? What if where you are going is closer to your home than your regular worksite, do you get paid less if you drive there straight from your home?

    Why not ask the folks who know all the law and ins and outs, and then, armed with information straight from the horse's mouth, you can take this up with the boss, knowing that if they cut a shine, and it comes down to asking the CA Wage and Hour to get involved, you'll be more likely to win reimbursement for travel. Even though you may be fired by this time, you know.

    As mentioned the company policy provides for more than state law does.
