Re: Reclaiming Private Call Costs
A colleague was in S England on business, and had permission to stay in a hotel that was way outside normal expense rates because the ordinary hotels were full due to a local event.
He submitted his expenses claim, on which was a 7p phone call. HR called him to query the large bill, but only asked if the call was personal or business.
When he told them that it was a call home to let his family know he had arrived OK he was told that personal calls were not permitted and the 7p was deducted.
We were working for BT at the time.
