It seemed this company was in favor of this firefighter, or at least their compensation formulas were! After requesting a payout of $375 spent on accommodation, meals, and gas during a three-day training assignment, he assumed the compensation process would be simple…

However, the accounting team kept demanding that he revise the receipts and further explain them, claiming he was not filling them out correctly.

And after doing so…Suddenly, he went from getting reimbursed $375 to receiving almost $900! Either he has great luck…or a super solid accountant!
