Under the laws of all states in this country it is improper for one's employer to threaten his or her employee with losing their job if the employee refuses to pay for office expenses with the employee's personal credit card. If such has happened to you, you need to consult with a labor law attorney and/or the representative with the local department of labor in your community.
