What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I am a full time employee and graduate student. My employer will not reimburse me for one of my classes because company policy states the final reimbursement package must be submitted within 90 days of the last day of the class and I submitted it 120 days. I was completely unaware of this policy because it is not mentioned in the intranet documentation describing the reimbursement program or the reimbursement forms. Unfortunately the company has multiple intranet sites stating the policy and the site I used did not contain the time limit information. Can I sue my employer in small claims for the $1050 tuition? I was told they can not make an exception for me because than they would have to pay the other employees that have also been denied payment.
