Legal Question in Employment Law in California

California Former Employee Never Paid Business Reimbursements
Is my former employer still required to pay my business reimbursements even though it has been over 4 years? Within a few weeks after being let go by my former employer (employed by a company based in San Francisco, CA), I submitted my final expense reports for over $5,000.00 in expenses owed to me. These were legitimate business expenses I incurred during business travel (airfare, meals, etc.)paid for on my personal credit cards / personal ATM card. I sent the expenses and receipts via an overnight courier; the overnight package was received and signed for by an employee of the firm. I still have copies of all expense reports submitted, copies of all receipts and a copy of the "Proof of Delivery" with the employee's signature. Do I have any ground to stand on? Recommended course of action or "next steps" to receive my reimbursements?

No. The obligation to reimburse employees for expenses is subject to a 4-year statute of limitations.
