[Guest]

Can employer pay monthly expenses (as a check) for an employee like cell phone, gas bills, utilities, internet etc when receipts are provided by the employee?

Are there any restrictions related to this like amount etc?

That should be fine. But make sure you have proof for that.

what is the diff b/w this and per-diem?

I heard employer cannot pay perdiem if employee also stays in the same city or with some distance.

But you do fill some kind of paper work for that. Those papers were you enter the total amount, you need them with the approval.

yes, my employer has a specific format for that and we fill every month...enter individual amounts with receipts..they approve (sign it)..some times if some expense is not eligible they ask to remove it..
