(b) If the cash advance was less than the total expenditure, the state shall reimburse the employee within a reasonable time after receiving the proper documentation required by section 5-141c-10 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.

(c) If the cash advance was more than the total expenditure, the employee shall return the excess amount to the agency not more than five business days following return from travel.
