Employee's Reimbursement Request Notice

The Employee Reimbursement Request Letter is a document by which an employee requests a refund for work-related expenses they have incurred. Employees are not required to use their money for business-related expenses, but when they do, they should be refunded. For example, an employee who spends their money to purchase an office printer for their employer's office should receive compensation for the printer.

However, note that there reimbursable and non-reimbursable expenses. Reimbursable expenses are costs incurred by the employee for which the employee will receive a refund. Therefore, this document should be used by employees to apply for reimbursement for work-related expenses they have incurred while fulfilling their work duties, but costs unrelated to work may not be reimbursable.

Usually, employers maintain the Reimbursement Policy, Employee Handbook, and other policy that outlines rules for receiving reimbursement. This policy describes reimbursable expenses and the conditions for obtaining reimbursement. It also explains how an employee can claim a refund. In this case, the employee is expected to comply with their employer's guidelines before receiving reimbursement.
