Policy text: Attention All Employees Who Drive Company Vehicles Or Customer Vehicles
Our insurance protection while driving customer and company vehicles carried a $1,000.00 deductible. If an accident happened that was the fault of our employee, the company would pay $400.00 of the deductible, and the employee would pay the remaining $600.00. While our deductible is still $1,000.00, insurance rates have increased so changes in our policy have been made. Effective February 1, 2006, the following policy is as follows:
If you operate any customer or company vehicle, you have the following two options: 1. The company will deduct $5.00 (five dollars) from your pay check each period, and your deductible responsibility will drop to $500.00 if you have an accident determined to be your fault. 2. The company will deduct nothing from your pay, and your deductible responsibility will be the full $1,000.00 if you have an accident that is determined to be your fault.
Please let the Business Ofice know your choice no later than February 3, 2006.
