[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 386590, member: 805"] k, i don't want to be a negative nelly here, but actually it was your responsibility to ask about prepaid travel expenses, not their responsibility to tell you. As soon as you heard about the travel involved with the job, you really should have asked if you would be given a corporate credit card or if there were corporate billed accounts with specific hotel and rental car chains. Even with a prepaid cc, you are going to put a pretty good chunk of money down - If you are traveling twice a month requiring air travel that could easily be 1.5k or more with airfare, rental car, gas, food and hotel. Typically, were you using a standard credit card, you would have to wait 30 days for the bill then submit your reimbursement request while paying ahead on your bill as you wait for your reimbursement. Most of the time the charges on a card that are submitted for reimbursement run a month or more behind so you would have to have the money to pay upfront anyway. As far as the advance payment, it is kinda a hassle to handle the payroll liabilities a company owes when changing an employee's pay cycle. It's not just a matter of cutting you an advance check. There is a lot more record keeping which actually costs the company more because they have to paid the administrative fees to have someone handle it. I can understand both of your perspectives. Hope you guys can come to some resolution. Perhaps you need to speak right to the horses mouth rather than going through numerous folks and getting different stories... Sharon [/QUOTE]
