60 Day Rule-Legal Requirement in the US

[AmberLee]

We have a 60 day rule in our policy for all expenses, including out of pocket. It simply states expenses over 60 days won't be approved. I can make exceptions up to 180 days.

I've got a person who is trying to submit expenses from 2 years ago! Are we legally required to reimburse him?

Yes, legally the expense is supposed to be reimbursed with exception approval.  The reason being the user had incurred expense on behalf of the business and liable to receive reimbursement.

@AmberLee two years? I give props for the procrastination dedication. LOL. 

My guess is you are probably required to reimburse. However, depending on the state, there might be certain laws that will say what you can and cannot do. I wonder if there is a difference if the expenses are out of pocket vs. company card.
