My company just posted a ban on the use of motorcycles in travl related to company events; they based this against work comp law and to "protect' themselves against loss and are set to discipline accordingly. We as riders at work see this as a pre-ban move to stop us from riding at all to work or on our own time. Anyone else have this rule at work? We are challenging it.




'03 Anniv RK Monsters, Fuel Pak, Mustang 2pc, DCC fairing, Wild 1 RKII bars and a whole lotta fun!

 

Sounds like they are tying to make sure that work isn't enjoyable. We wouldn't want that now would we?

 

That would suck. I get to ride on company time quite a bit. Maybe its time to find a new job?

 

Tell them that if they want to mandate what you drive while on work business, to furnish you a company car.

 

THAT'S BULLSHIT!

What if it was your only means of transportation!!!!!
Tell em' to get bent..

 

Sounds like the wanna-be's are JEALOUS!

 

Second that!!!!!

 

Their company, their rules. That the great thing about America, if you don't like it you can quit or even better yet start your own company. Course the "American Way" now is to sue.

 

I would send something to AMA, maybe they can get on this....

 

So if I understand correctly...the company is banning in relation to company related EVENTS??? I.E. traveling for work??? Don't know about anyone else but just about anyone I have ever worked for required that if we were traveling on company business that we fly, or if it is a short trip then use a rental car. While using your personal vehicle isn't exclusively prohited (at least the company I work for now, but others have had policy where use of personal vehicles for company travel was prohibted)...you better have a good reason why you couldn't rent a car instead...especially since they give us corporate credit cards and premier membership into virtually all the car rental agencies. I am sure them paying 50 cents + a mile doesn't help, but it is mainly for insurance purposes.

On the other hand...if they say you can't ride whatever you want back and forth to work...that is another matter entirely...and I am sure they would find themselves on the losing end of a lawsuit or have to provide company funded transportation for their employees.
