Can I request reimbursement for receipts I have for company purchases made by me after my release?
Question Details:
It a family business owned by my sister. I have on many occasions bought things for the business with my money and turned in my receipts with no problems. I have sent her my receipts certified USPS one week ago and have not heard from her. What should I do? It is a considerable amount totaling about $1000.
Employment and Labor Law Answers
Was there any agreement that you would be reimbursed for expenses incurred on behalf of the business? The fact that you have previously been reimbursed suggests that there was--the ongoing course of conduct (that you would turn in receipts and be reimbursed) is evidence of an agreement to this effect.
In that case, you would seem to have a legal right to reimbursement; however, if the business will not voluntarily pay, your only way to seek reimbursement would be to sue. For the amount in question, you should probably sue in small claims court.
