With limited and specified exceptions, the employer cannot make employees pay for things that are needed for them to do their job. Reimbursement of business expenses is not limited to things like having to pay for work-related supplies. Although they have to pay for these expenses, employers also have to pay employees for the cost of having to use their own cell phones, computers, internet, vehicles, or other equipment for work-related reasons.
California comes down hard on employers who make their employees pay for business expenses. Employees who have paid necessary work-related expenses can bring lawsuits against their employers to recoup unreimbursed costs. Employees who prevail in these cases are entitled to not only 100% of their unreimbursed work expenses, but attorney’s fees and interests on the amounts owed.
What constitutes a work-related cost and whether that cost is necessary is based on a complex body of law that will require the expertise and experience of an attorney well versed in this area of law.
