Can an employee be required to use a personal check for general company bills?

Can an employer require an employee to pay for an item and then get reimbursed, if the item not an expense related to the employee?

For example, it's clearly OK for travel expenses related to the employee.

However what if the "expense" is just a bill that the company needs to pay: the electricity bill, or a contractor's services? Can the company require an employee to pay that bill using a personal check, and then hope the company reimburses properly?

No. As presented, this is outrageous and preposterous.
