    Recovering business expenses after resignation?
    07-30-2019 / 11:06 am    #1

    Hello,

    Two months ago, an employee bought an airline ticket (with managerial approval) for a work trip.  As per policy and history, this employee bought the ticket with his own credit card and was reimbursed for the cost of the ticket.

    Last week, this employee voluntarily resigned.  As a result, he won't be taking this business trip.  The airline ticket is nonrefundable, so presumably he will cancel the ticket and have a credit in his name.

    Two questions:
    1)  SHOULD the organization seek reimbursement for the cost of this ticket?  
    2) Irrespective what is morally right or wrong, does the organization have the LEGAL right to demand reimbursement for this?

    There is no paperwork or agreement signed that specifies a policy in this situation.

    Thanks for any guidance here.
