Reimbursement

[ShyCat]

IShe is only getting reimbursed for money she paid out of pocket, anyway, because she bought BOTH flights.

The OP didn't explain this very well but I assumed the direct flight ticket was returned for refund after it was submitted on the expense report for reimbursement. Why else go through such contortions but to scam some extra cash out her employer?

Given what the OP says she's planning to do + how she's presented herself in this thread, this seems likely.

But I used all my credit points to buy the old ticket. Why it's illegal if they suppose to reimburse me for a direct one ?
?

Because they said they will reimburse you for what you paid to travel. What you are proposing is both civil fraud And theft. Civil fraud is actionable by the employer. The theft would be actionable by the state prosecutor. Whether the state would prosecute or not is up to them.

484. (a) Every person who shall feloniously steal, take, carry,
lead, or drive away the personal property of another, or who shall
fraudulently appropriate property which has been entrusted to him or
her, or who shall knowingly and designedly, by any false or
fraudulent representation or pretense, defraud any other person of
money, labor or real or personal property, or who causes or procures
others to report falsely of his or her wealth or mercantile character
and by thus imposing upon any person, obtains credit and thereby
fraudulently gets or obtains possession of money, or property or
obtains the labor or service of another, is guilty of theft. In
determining the value of the property obtained, for the purposes of
this section, the reasonable and fair market value shall be the test,
and in determining the value of services received the contract price
shall be the test. If there be no contract price, the reasonable and
going wage for the service rendered shall govern. For the purposes
of this section, any false or fraudulent representation or pretense
made shall be treated as continuing, so as to cover any money,
property or service received as a result thereof, and the complaint,
information or indictment may charge that the crime was committed on
any date during the particular period in question. The hiring of any
additional employee or employees without advising each of them of
every labor claim due and unpaid and every judgment that the employer
has been unable to meet shall be prima facie evidence of intent to
defraud.

For benefit of the OP: You are not entitled to be reimbursed one penny over the actual cost to you of the flight you actually took. Anything else is a form of theft for which you could definitely be fired, without access to unemployment, and for which you could possibly be criminally charged. If you worked for me and you pulled this stunt, I would fire your behind so fast you wouldn't know what hit you, and if you told me there were others who did the same thing I'd fire their asses too. If that left me with no employees, so be it - shame on me for not doing a better reference check and I'll just have to hire more.

There is NO legal principle you can come up with that will make what you suggest anything but dishonest, and only a dishonest, unethical person would consider it. I'm sorry if you don't like being called dishonest and unethical but if the shoe fits, that's all you've got, Cinderella.

Like button. (BTW, does anyone know when this button is being returned to us?)

Trump takes office on the 20th of Jan. I suspect it will be included in his "make America great again" plan. Should see action on the button shortly thereafter.

BTW, if the poster was in ANY state except the one she's in, she wouldn't be entitled by law to any reimbursement at all. It's only because she's in the state she's in that she's got a legal entitlement to anything at all, and she darned sure isn't entitled anything over that.
