EMPLOYEE PARKING POLICY RIGHTS, POLICY, PROCEDURE, LICENSE, PERMIT

Here is a parking policy template outline:

  • Policy brief & Thrust

Our employee vehicle parking policy is structured to outline our parking stipulations for employees and guests. The criteria for the allocation of parking space to employees and the rules governing the use of such parking spaces, are enunciated below:

  • Scope

This policy applies to all employees who are responsible for company vehicles, and/or drive vehicles in the course of carrying out company business, and the stipulations cover employees engaged on permanent, temporary or contract basis, including interns and volunteers.

  • Policy Objectives

The company will administer guidelines with regard to its parking space as it affects employee vehicle parking predicated on the following:

* The criteria and process for allocating  employee vehicle parking spaces.

* The management and running  of  employee vehicle parking spaces.

* The maintenance of a safe, secure and clean parking lot.

Upon engagement, all regular full-time and part-time employees are allocated a parking space. Barring the first few days of employment, employees are not permitted to park in the spaces allocated to guests and visitors.

All employees are mandated to display their parking permit as stipulated when parked in the Company’s vehicle parking lot. The parking permit must be seen on the rearview mirror with the number placed inside out. Motorcycles will be given a sticker to position on the front fork.

If an employee’s parking permit is not properly displayed on his/her vehicle or such a vehicle is not parked appropriately, an announcement will be effected publicly announcing   the license plate number of the employee vehicle and the corrective action to be taken by the responsible party.

A time frame of ten minutes will be permitted for the correction of the infringement. If no corrective measures are implemented within this stipulated grace period, the vehicle will be towed by management.

The Company’s parking set-up will not be held accountable for any damage or theft caused to any car, or contents thereof, while parked in the official parking garage or on company parking space.

  • Criteria and Procedure for allocation.

Fully-engaged employees or employees contracted on night shift duty are permitted to submit just the single request for a parking spot. This request is expected to be submitted  HR department, facilities foreman or other responsible official, who will in turn  determine  the  requested spot should be granted  or not by assessing certain criteria.

They are as follows, with order of importance reducing downwards:

  1. Employees and staff that are physically challenged( permanent or temporary; this group also covers pregnant women)
  2. Executives and management staff.
  3. Employees who have company cars under their jurisdiction.
  4. Night shift  employees.
  5. Employees who commute together.

The parking spaces will be allocated based on the above priority criteria until exhaustion.

The company may, at its discretion, assign a park permit corresponding to a particular spot that may require  the payment of a fixed amount  per year.

Space for parking vehicles that are engaged for the execution of company’s business and operations (e.g. trailers) will be reserved and may be removed from the regular employee parking space.

Visitors/Guests will be directed to park at stipulated spaces that will be properly indicated.

  • Running of Parking spaces.

Parking spaces are permanently beneficial to the employee. They can be withdrawn, at the discretion of the company, at any point in time; either due to disciplinary action or to the needs of people classified as high priority.

Each employee is entitled to a single parking space and such a designated space or allocation cannot be transferred to another employee or individual.

This policy does not cover off-premises parking. However, employees are not allowed to:

* Obstruct exits and entrances.
* Obstruct loading/unloading of company cars and machinery.
* Occupy spots designated  for visitors during work hours
* Park at spaces  designated for the physically challenged.

If a vehicle is left unoperated for more than a period of thirty days, it may be taken away and the employee who owns the vehicle will be required to foot  the bills for storage and removal

The benefit of parking space will experience cessation termination of employment.
