2166.1 | Can purchase Company car | GRANPA::JNOSTIN | | Fri Oct 16 1992 13:07 | 4 |
| I understand that employees who are laid off have been given a certain time
frame to purchase their Company car. I also heard that the purchase
price quoted by PHH or GELCO will be reduced by 10%. I am not aware of
a published policy.

| The engr laid off here was able to drive his car until the Friday after
his lay-off and then was given a rental car for a month. I am not
aware of a policy but I'm sure there is one and personnal would have
it.

2166.3 | Consult your local TFSO policy committee :-) | SWAM2::MCCARTHY_LA | Services Reorg, Year 6 | Fri Oct 16 1992 14:12 | 6 |
| It seems to be one of those "local policy" things. Most of the cases
I've seen, the TFSO'er get to drive it 'til the end of their
"notification week" (told Mon-Tues, last work day Fri.). They then have
some period of time to pick up their plan "A" car, especially if noone
has a justified need ("it's nicer than mine" is not a justification)
for the car.

2166.4 | Marginal Benefits | ELMAGO::JMORALES | | Fri Oct 16 1992 19:14 | 17 |
| Due to the fact that Compary Cars are limited to certain locations and
job categories (JEC), it really depends on the location where you are
in.
I've experience in location I've been where certain job codes have
company cars, that when the person has been laid-off or demoted, the
car has been offered to that person at 'fair book value' or the famous
blue book value (the book is available at any DCU).
I also know that if the person does not what to purchase the car, they
are provided with adequate transportation for a period of time (usually
one or two weeks) until he/she has transportation means again.
However as all of the previos note writes have mentioned I have not
seem any Personel Policy/Procedure that discuss these. Though at the
site there may be something related in the Marginal Benefits section
of the local site Personnel P/P.

| As I recall, when the first round of layoffs hit the Field in July of
'91, Zareski had a cow over how the cars were managed. Not sure if
there was a real problem or simply the perception of one, but when the
second round hit in October, a memo was issued to affected managers
informing them that under no circumstances was the employee to be
granted posession of the car until they had title. In the interim (for
the 9-week "transition" period), impacted employees were permitted to
expense up to something like $500 for a rental.
To the best of my knowledge, this "policy" has not changed.
