Charles River Development isn’t reimbursing my interview expenses despite promising to pay me back !

I appeared for a job interview at Charles River Development - Burlington MA location last year from another city. They booked my flight, hotel and cab and told me they will even refund the food/dining cost I incur on the trip. When I flew in to Boston at midnight there was no cab waiting for me I called all helplines provided to me. I was told by Travel agent’s Customer Care to “just take an Uber and file for reimbursement later”. I reach the hotel at 3am I’m asked to put a Credit card on file for incidentals which I did. Next morning 8am I’m heading out for my interview, I check out of the hotel room and I’m told I’ll be charged for the room cause the travel agent who booked the room didn’t pay for it or provide any mode of payment. I call the TA helpline and again I’m told to pay for it and file for reimbursement later. I reached CRD office and told the HR/Recruiter the entire story, he apologized for the mixup with the cab and the hotel and promises to get me reimbursed asap. It’s been 6+ months despite several followups I haven’t received even an email response about the reimbursement let alone the reimbursement itself. I’m not sure what to do now ! TC - 160k

But if they did it to me they are doing it to others ... often this big firms think they can get away with shit like this without any consequences

There is a short video on the website. It describes a few legal options.

Small claims

I’ll have to file it in Burlington, MA ... I’ll probably end up paying way more in the process ...

File small claims court and claim mental anguish and suffering, not being able to sleep, missing your own rent payments, sue for the max amount and hope they don’t show up to court.

Small claims can cover mental harassment? ... I’ll have to file the small claims in Burlington, MA ... which means I’ll have to travel there ... I’ll end up spending way more in recovery than I’ll get back in the name of interview expenses

Yes, also travel expenses are part of the judgement.

Get linkedin free premium for a month. Msg every employee .. and ask them email of someone to escalate to. People generally help.
