Iowa’s expense reimbursement law applies to expenses that are authorized by the employer. Private employers must provide a policy that reimburses employees for authorized necessary business expenses and provides payment either in advance of the expenditure or within 30 days of receiving a claim. If an employer doesn’t pay the reimbursement request, they must provide a written notice explaining the decision within the same period.
State employees may be eligible for reimbursement of expenses related to relocation, education, interviewing, and work-related travel, if such expenses are approved and documented.
