Encinitas, CA asked in Employment Law for California

Q: in California what is the time frame for an employee to reimburse their employees their mileage pay.

My company claims that our mileage reimbursement will be sent out 30 days after it gets submitted, However, it rarely happens. Most employees including myself will often get out reimbursement on the 35th or 36th day and sometimes months later. When we ask for our mileage, they claim to be working on it or completely ignore our emails, text, and calls.

A: The law merely sets the standard as a "reasonable" time. 35 to 36 days is a long time but likely not unreasonable.

Good luck to you.
