i was wondering if anyone knows that the employer has to pay for if they have the employee staying out of town, i am in constuction and i dont think my employer is paying for everything that he should.
thanks:D
Are you exempt or non-exempt?
Specifically, what is it that you think your employer should be paying for that he is not?

If you're talking about motel bills, meals, etc., obviously, it's the "right" thing to do, but there is no law that requires the employer to do so. If you are not reimbursed (and depending on the amount you incur in the calendar year), you MAY be able to deduct a portion of the unreimbursed business expenses as an itemized deduction on your 1040.
