Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does California law say about expense reimbursement?
California Labor Code § 2802 requires employers to reimburse employees for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in the course of their work. If your employer benefits from the expense, they are generally responsible for the cost.
2. What if my employer gives me a monthly stipend?
A stipend may satisfy the law only if it reasonably covers your actual expenses. If it falls short, you may be entitled to additional reimbursement.
3. Do I need receipts to file a claim?
Receipts are helpful, but other evidence, such as phone records, mileage logs, or testimony, may also support your claim.
4. How long do I have to file a reimbursement claim?
Most claims must be filed within three years, though certain related claims may extend to four years.
5. What if I’m classified as an independent contractor?
If you have been misclassified, you may still qualify for reimbursement protections. Classification depends on legal standards, not just your job title.
6. Can my employer retaliate if I ask for reimbursement?
No. California law prohibits retaliation against employees who assert their rights under the Labor Code.
