    Need Money for Business Trip
    I just started working at my new job last week and they are sending me away for training tomorrow. Hotel Reservations have been made but I didn't get any money for cabs and dining. This is supposed to be an all expense paid business trip and I don't know how to ask my boss for the money being a new employee and all.

    Hi, and congrats on the new job. The way business expenses usually work is that when you return you submit your receipts so you can be reimbursed. Since you're new maybe you could ask your boss for a loan until you return with receipts and then pay him back with your reimbursement. Good luck.

    Thanks Redbone,
    Luckily at the end of the day my boss asked me if I'm all set... so I said everything except the money. He didn't have money on him at the time so he just asked his wife for a loan. (she works for him). Whatever money I used out of pocket he will reimburst me.
