>Here in the state of California, labor laws define that an employer cannot require a team member to take on expenses that are an integral part of the job.

- bigiain 2y agoTwo comments. (From a non-CA legal jurisdiction context.) You can always ask (but not pressure or require). Make sure you make it clear there's no downside to them refusing. Another option I've used is to hand cash to co workers and ask them to spend it on their credit card for testing. I've rarely had anyone refuse that. (A few very junior staff members who were maybe right on the credit limit on their cards I suspect.)
- CapstanRoller 2y agoThere are always downsides: your personal card can get fraud-flagged, which is a huge pain to fix. It can also get banned by Stripe/Braintree/etc, which will really mess things up until your bank issues you a new card number. Never use a personal card for testing, maybe with the exception of being the sole proprietor of the business or if it's a hobby project.
