Most employment relationships are "at will". This means that a company can set the conditions of work much as it sees fit. This includes what business related expenses an employee cnan be held responsible for. That is so long as such an action does not violate the terms of a union agreement or employment contract. Also, an employee's treatment cannot constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination.
