I have had a company car since 2012 and always had a fuel card, I normally do over 25k miles per year. I paid back my personal fuel at the government rate and was quite happy.
Suddenly they decided we couldn't have fuel cards any more and gave us 2 weeks notice. Now we are expected to pay for the fuel ourselves and claim back at the government rate, then we will be paid back in our next wages, it could be as much as 6 weeks if we miss the cut off.
My car is a 2.0 diesel and the rate is 11p per mile, the trouble is that even if I drive very carefully it seems to cost around 12p per mile. So now with each journey I am left out of pocket. My car is full of tools and equipment for work, this extra weight probably isn't helping.
We complained to our manager and HR and they said they would look into it, but so far have done nothing. We have been providing them with evidence of the actual cost.
Do you think this is fair? How are other companies doing things?
We have company credit cards, but apparently we aren't allowed to pay for fuel for the company car on it, it's against company policy for some reason. For me this would solve the issue and I'd be happy again.
