This goes to the heart of the matter.

If an employee has incurred legitimate expenses, then the company is
oblighed to reimburse these. The question is whether it is legal to limit
the time in which claims for reimburesement can be made.

I know that many companies do it, but is it legal? Is it not, at the end
of the day, a debt that the company owes to the individual and must pay?

I want to put in a limit if possible because I think it would help the
administration, but there's not much point if it cannot be enforced.
