There is no law that says employers have to offer mileage reimbursement. Many do because it's a smart way to attract and retain employees. Reimbursements made at the standard Internal Revenue Service rate are not considered income, so they are not subject to tax.

At the state and local level, there are currently 10 jurisdictions that have statutes or case law specifically addressing an employer's requirement to reimburse business expenses: California, Iowa, Illinois, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, District of Columbia, and Seattle, Washington

California law generally prohibits employers from requiring employees to bear the costs of business expenses.Additionally, under California Labor Code § 2804 an agreement to waive full reimbursement for expenses is not enforceable even if an employer requires the agreement as a term of employment.

Generally, an employee may seek reimbursement of a necessary business expense within three years of incurring the expense. However, to lessen the risk of belated claims, employers should identify a deadline to submit reimbursements (i.e. 30 days after incurring the cost) in the written reimbursement policy.

California Law Addresses Employee Business Expense Reimbursement. While not mandatory in every state, California employers are required to reimburse their employees for reasonable business expenses. This means employers must pay back employees who spend their own money for business-related expenses.

Reimbursed expenses are payments made by a company to an employee who has made a claim for expenses incurred out of their own pocket for the business, through work-related activities.The reimbursement is made based on evidence, or receipts, provided in the expenses claim.
