I am in an IVA through the ccsva and i am confused as to what to do with my expenses. I have to pay upfront and claim my work expenses back. Does this affect my iva and do i need to keep records of them all? I do not want to have to explain my financial situation to my employer

Hi Kimberley, I have to pay for fuel sometimes from work and have to pay upfront and then eventually (can be 3 months) they reimburse me, this doesn't affect my IVA as it's separate to my usual fuel allowance. I only have to do this when I travel to other outcentres to work.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

If you can pay upfront then you should be ok as the expenses are paid back. I doubt you would have to provide receipts, but speak to your IP and ask what their stance is on this.

Can you ask your employer for a float? It is not fair to expect you to pay for things on their behalf and then have to wait to get them reimbursed.
