The head of HR sent me an email this morning stating that since I use my car occasionally to travel between our two offices I need to supply them with proof of insurance.
I copied my insurance card and emailed it to her.
She wrote back and said, "That card is expired. Do you have a more recent one?"
I wrote back and told her to look again. (BTW, I've removed all identifying information from this screen shot, but everything was on the one I sent her.)
I WORK WITH FUCKING IDIOTS!
How can anyone be that stupid. BTW, the date is also my husbands birthday.
OK, have to comment on this one. I manage corporate insurance for a solar energy development company. YOUR insurance should not be what is covering you when you are using your own car for work business. Your employer should have auto insurance that covers owned, non-owned and hired cars (some companies leave off the "owned" category in their policy if they don't or never plan to own cars). Your personal car that you occasionally use for work related business falls into the non-owned category. And any accident that you might get into while on the work related business should be covered by their corporate auto policy. After all, you would not have been in the location where the accident happened had you not been performing your work duties. On a similar but not insurance related query, do you claim mileage for your work travel when using your own car? You should be!!! This year the IRS mandated rate for claiming mileage on expense reports is 55.5 cents per mile.
*sarcasm* I love how some businesses want to piggy-back on employee car insurance because they're too cheap to provide their own, yet if the employee properly reported the business use of their car their rates would skyrocket.
