California's Division of Labor Standards Enforcement has decided to issue proposed regulations on the reimbursement of employee expenses under Labor Code section 2802. The regulations cover travel and personal automobile expenses, meal reimbursement, and other reimbursement issues. The regulations specifically authorize the DLSE to take expense reimbursement claims at the agency level and provides for attorneys' fees to be awarded in favor of employees based on a "lodestar" formula. There will be a comment period and revisions before these are finalized.
