I’m just confused on why they are forcing me to rent a car at their expense, instead of using my own car. this is the first year they said they are getting me a car.
what could be reasons why they would opt for rental instead of km/milage reimbursement?
I don’t wanna drive no automatic lol
Do they mean getting a taxi to/from the party? So you can get ham-diddly-hammered and get home? That’s what one of my companies did
no, my work is 7 hours from my residence. I drive to the office for the Christmas party.
this year, they are renting me a car instead of my driving my own car.
I would never question safe transport after a party
They could have deals with rental companies that make the rental cheaper to them. It could be a way to save money as people won’t bother with the rental and since it’s violating company procedure, they don’t have to pay mileage reimbursement. It could be a way to funnel money to a rental company rather than directly reimbursing employees.
In the US they only reimburse around $0.50/mile (last I knew from several years ago) so it’d have to be a killer deal to be cheaper for rentals than reimbursement. OP did reference kilometers, but I imagine the reimbursement rate is similar wherever you are.
Could be group rate on the lease which makes it more cost effective then paying you for 2 trips. Best to ask your manager about it.
Mostly laibility and insurance. Partly (and only for some companies) a way to help keep you tied to the company while showing they are invested in you for longer term.
Most domestic insurance policies do not cover the use of a vehicle on company business and your employer would become implicated in the event of an accident. This necessarily implies that driving to work is not company business which doesn’t make sense to me. Do they think I was out for a drive each morning and just so happened to be in the vicinity of my workplace so I thought why not drop in for a shift? Them’s the rules.
If you do get into an accident and they ask you ‘what gear were you in at the moment of impact?’ Tell them Gucci sweats and Reebok Classics.
My best guess is that someone at enterprise paid a lot of money to whoever made that decision.
They don’t want drunken partygoers to get maimed or killed on the way home. Both to avoid problems with their workforce, and to avoid headlines.
the car isn’t removed, just mine is. doesn’t really avoid anything
also didn’t include, but the party is at the hotel we’re all staying at so no excuses.
Theyre horny for that munnies in some way would be my guess but I have no clue lol
