Car Allowance while on LOA

[Guest nhanlon]

I am looking for feedback on how other companies handle paying car allowances for employees on Leave Of Absence (STD, FMLA). Do you continue paying the car allowance, prorate it or stop it?

FWIW, I think this is a company policy decision that depends not only on whether the reasons for providing the car allowance continue during the leave, but also the value of continuing the allowance as an employee retention factor. Just apply the policy to similarly situated employees in a non-discriminatory way. FMLA does not require the continuation of car allowances. We do not have car allowances.
