Could not agree more with the above statement.

If you are fortunate to work for a company that pays you w/in a two week time frame for your expenses, thank the good Lord.

I used to work for a major corp where 45 days was a blessing if I recieved the expense check. If there was a dispute w/the particular expense the whole expense report was held up until resolved. As a result I paid finance charge and late fee $ out of my own pocket.

In my case I clearly had a company that took advantage of me and I would therefore keep the $20.

Mike, if you work for a company who respects you, then I would be honest and take Premex's suggestion. If your company has a screw the employee attitude, take the $ and move onto another job.
