Work related travel expenses

If your employer requires you to travel to another of it's bases away from home is the employer then required to pay your expenses regarding gas,food,etc? All the companies I have worked for until now have always covered all reasonable costs involved in being away from home base. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Our company does cover the travel expenses as well as living expenses (hotel, etc) where appropriate. I don't know if there is a law that requires them to do so- I just think it is common curtesy.

Our Company covers hotels.... we pay meals and transportation up front and get those expenses back when we return to our own base.

The last employer i had did not, even got upset when I mentioned that maybe we should.

All companies should, however there are always a few out there that try and take advantage of the low time pilots by not paying expenses. The world is full of people like that.

Try going to a place in the artic and not have them cover things like cabs if you can get one food if the hotel has meals (most are just during meal times and you have what was cooked allways good thought) but very expensive now your left with your room wich can run upto 200 bucks

a night and you may end up sharing with some stranger cause you got a double room. Why would you spend 2 days wage to go for one nights worth of work ofcourse they should pay!!!!
