Tom, I've worked for organizations that demanded ER's be submitted within specified periods of time. The other side was that if they were not submitted within the specified periods, the expenses were not reimbursed. This was flat rule with just two exceptions. The exceptions were: 1. controlling illness and 2. being continually on the road for the company and in either situation being unable to complete and file the reports.
