asking / reminding HR on reimbursement?

So I went to a lot of invite only recruiting functions where HR said they would reimburse you for travel etc, except it's been a month and I haven't received anything. With the new semester and cost of books etc, I actually need the reimbursements asap (I think it's over $1000 by now).

Would it seem kind of cheap to remind HR?

it's not their money, it's the firms so your not being cheap. be very firm and concise in your email, let them know that you want your money back and that they should hurry up. sometimes a blunt approach is the only way to speed things up, they dilly dally alot

GordonsGeckoIt's not cheap - i've asked in person straight up be like i ahven' received my reimbursement - where's it at

LOL!

 

Usually HR is good about that sort of stuff, slow, but they get the money to you... even if you did not accept the offer... was this a small firm?

 

She asked me to fax her the info. and never confirmed receipt of fax or my subsequent 3 emails. it's bloomberg for crying out loud. maybe I shouldn't mention it on this forum... but why can't she reply to an email?

 

No. Goldman gives superday candidates a temporary corp Amex to charge all recruiting-related expenses to. Solution. :)

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.

Yes, but GS is flawless in its execution of almost anything. I cannot believe I am the only one this sort of thing has happened to.

 
acs_londonA certain UK bank which was bailed out by the government wrote me a cheque which bounced. True story. Believe it or not, it happened in 2009. I had to chase them for 4 months!

haha. i bet it was RBS. ok. so chasing is the key.

 

I'm on the same boat as the OP with one of the banks I interviewed with back in October. Turned in my reimbursement form shortly after getting back to campus, still haven't received a check in the mail. It has been well over 2 months now. They claimed it would take 4-6 weeks.
