Get new work vehicle soon, apparently tracked up to the eyeballs with latest devices to keep tabs on us.

Yet apparently the company can't afford to give us a payrise?

Wtf!!

They also restrict the vehicle and we are tracked on our pda and Id badge.

I'm waiting for UK insurance companies to insist that new vehicles are fitted with Telematics for private use vehicles too...

I remember a tracker we had little strip on windscreen rectangle black box . However it was a shame someone on site dropped something off scaffold happened to smash windscreen while replaceing it the razor wire went through the cable which stopped the tracker working

near the sounds of the wimborne quarter jack!

Had trackers in all of our vehicles for the last ten years! Done for insurance purposes. Management agreed with Trade Unions they could use tracker records to discipline staff.

However, two members of staff were suspected of repeatedly leaving work early and it "just happened" that a supervisor happened to passing their homes and saw work vehicle parked on the driveway .......

Going to suggest that if you don`t give your bosses reason to check you, they usually leave you alone. If you give them grief then they`ll be ready with anything! Cetainly seems to be the case with me *whistles*

You are tracked on your public displays of affection?

Correction - Management agreed with Trade Unions that tracker records COULD NOT be used to discipline staff.

You might get that raise after all.

significant reductions in insurance?

one off expense versus ongoing long term expense?

hopefully improved efficiency/performance offsetting the cost?

would you be considerably more productive after a pay rise to offset the cost?

. If you are following the companies guidelines for use of vehicles you have nothing to worry . In certain scenarios they can work to your advantage . eg. if you were accused of an accident in an area that you were not in..
