Reply to: interview travel expense reimbursement

[DirtyDog]

reimbursement confirmation was unconditional (whether made an offer or not). The amount is about £300 quids.
I have forgotten it now.

If you haven't sent an invoice, then as many people in the thread have said, send one. Include a copy of the email which says they will pay the expenses, and copies of the tickets if necessary.

Stipulate your payment terms on the invoice, and if they don't pay on time then pursue them through the normal channels for bad debt.

Was this for a contract or an employed position? Was it through an agency or direct with the client?

What was the outcome of the interview? I assume you chased them AFTER the results of the interview or do you not know yet? Are you sure they didn't say 'we will IF you are successful' ?

^This^.

Don't bother trying to pi55 them off with your "you owe me £40" act if you think there's a good chance you could get the gig!

Hi All,

I recently attended an interview for a client and they had agreed to reimburse the travel expenses.
But now even after two reminders I haven't heard from them. I had booked my tickets only after they had confirmed through email that they would reimburse the travel expenses.

What options do I have now to get my money back ?

Thanks.

No, they just asked me to send the expense receipts.

Forget expense forms. That's for their employees.

If you have proof that they agreed to reimburse your expenses, send them an invoice (don't forget to add VAT if you're registered) and the tickets as proof. If they don't pay it, it's up to you to pursue it through the usual channels if you can be bothered.

Ring them up and shout at them.

Personally, I would forget it and move on.

Did they not give you an Expenses form?

May be I wasn't clear enough. I applied for a job, attended first level of interview and then I was called for second round. They told (in email) for the second round they would pay for expenses (reimbuse later).

Can I send them an invoice in this case ? ( for now I haven't).

Thanks.

Or bank details

yes along with the expense receipts, I have sent my bank details.

They aren't your employer. How are they going to pay you without a valid invoice?
