Is this really that common, an employer offering free taxi credits? I've worked at a handful of software companies in SF, and I don't recall any of them doing this.
- jwilliams 12y agoYeah it is. I've also seen it at big end of town. Large corporates can offer transportation to employees that are required to work late – e.g. on a large systems release.
- raverbashing 12y agoYep, this is common If you use public transport you get a taxi home after hours. And the evening pizza usually, but that's more common.
- Animats 12y agoIt's big in New York. Read The Devil Wears Prada. (It's in the movie, but discussed at length in the book.)
- krab 12y agoIt's also common for employees taking business trips. At least in Europe.
- girvo 12y agoWell, here in Brisbane it's definitely offered by a number of agencies I've worked at.
- dragonwriter 12y ago> Is this really that common, an employer offering free taxi credits? Yes, employers paying for work-related expenses is common (and generally required in California, see Labor Code Sec. 2802), and taxi as the employer-preferred form for local work-related transportation (as opposed to the employee driving a personal or employer-provided vehicle and being reimbursed for mileage) is often preferred for various reasons, most especially liability.
- tjbiddle 12y agoI haven't seen an employer offer "credits"; however I've had no trouble expensing an Uber or Lyft ride.
