4 thoughts on “Suit accuses Lilly of illegally deducting funds from paychecks for vehicle use, extra time off

  1. There is more to this: According to IRS rules Infrequent personal usage of company vehicles is typically deducted from an employee’s salary. I wonder if this is somewhere in the employee rules. Seems very reasonable for having a car for commuting and such. Paid Time Off programs are notoriously complex especially for companies in multiple states.

  2. I wish I had use of a company car for $35/week. Ms.Probst did something wrong, was called out for it. Why did she wait 11 years if she had a problem with it?

    1. She only waited until she quit working at Lilly. I suspect she complained before she quit, and because she want to keep her job, never hired a lawyer until now to follow up.

      The employee/employer relationship is never a balanced equation. It is too easy for the company to “quit” (fire) the employee, and until you are willing to quit the employer, you are at the companies mercy.

  3. The vacation purchase is something employees voluntarily sign up for each year during annual enrollment. It’s very straightforward — e.g. Do you wish to purchase additional vacation? Yes/No
    If Yes, how much additional vacation do you wish to purchase at the following cost/pay check deduction.

    Was she expecting to get more paid time off than the benefit plan included? Sounds like an entitlement issue with her.
