No it is the responsibility of both of you. You should have asked what expenses were covered and what were not. Most of the coments on here seem to go along with my understanding of that term i.e. they will pay travel expenses if they require you to travel to somewhere other than your main site. From thier perspective it probably looks like you have been pulling a fast one.

It was never my intention to pull a fast one. Simply put, this is on paper and signed by them, which means it's binding to the contract as an authorization for the expense. I'm not paying back 4 months of expenses just because they didn't "realize" what they were signing... that's complete bs.

I reckon you might find yourself leaving the premises sooner than expected.

Clients don't pay for your commuting costs, and sticking it on a timesheet looks like fast one to me.

I didn't say it was your intention. I said, from their perspective it might seem like that.

As I am fairly new to contracting, I was never aware that clients don't pay commuting fees. Either way, I'm not going to cough up so much dough just because people don't read what they sign.

Regardless if you think I pulled a fast one or not, that isn't the topic at hand here. I'll be completely honest with you though, when I first started claiming it... I never thought that it was something clients don't pay for... and after they signed off on it, it made it more assured in my mind.

You haven't been charging them for the time you spend eating lunch as well have you?

You can do it if you are a lawyer...

Only on Tuesdays

Clients sign off timesheets without fully reading them. I've known people claim for days they have not worked, been paid and then sacked when the client realises. Yes they should have checked what they were signing for, but just because they signed it doesn't mean that they can't come asking for it back. If your contract doesn't support it then you could leave yourself open to being taken to court.

Out of interest, how much are they asking for? Are we talking a few hndred pounds or is it thousands?
