Legal Question in Business Law in California

Interesting question. Usually companies who offer company cars will require employees to pay some nominal monthly fee for the car with the understanding that the car will be used for personal as well as business use. If not, the personal use side of the vehicle could be considered income and be subject to tax. It is easier to charge the employee up front to avoid that. Without understanding more about your written policies and compensation plan it is hard to answer specifically here. If the company charges you for their vehicle what is the rationale? Do you also get a salary? Do you get tips? Who pays the gas and insurance? It would be wise for any company to have these arrangements written down for all to see. When not in writing, such agreements can be hard to enforce. It would be too strict to say that they are doing anything illegal..based upon what you say. Questionable policy? yes!
