Reimbursable expenses
My company’s stated policy is that business related expenses are not reimbursed
if any work-related activity that occurs within 100 radius miles of the office–
even during the weekends. Is this legal?
From the policy
A business trip is defined as a trip that exceeds a 100-mile radius from the
office e.g. from the Los Angeles office to Santa Barbara or San Diego. The per
diem allowance also covers expenses incurred over a weekend.

The fact is that business related expenses are not legally required to be reimbursed to a worker. Accordingly, to the extent that a business provides such reimbusements, it can set the conditions under which they are given absent some form of legally actionable discrimination or an employment/union agreement to the contrary.
