California about to lose its AmEx card...
"...AmEx is carrying $10.4 million in unpaid charges on its books that were incurred by state workers and agencies since the new fiscal year began"
The way it works, apparently, is AmEx issues approved employees cards to be used for State related business (generally travel) - employee is responsible personally for paying the charges, and filing for reimbursement - which presumably ought to happen inside a payment cycle, right...
travel is of course generally required as part of the employee's job, though CA is cutting travel since there is no budget
this could get interesting
And the employee's credit gets ruined when the government fails to reimburse them. Diabolical enough for you?
