[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, now your kid, car, health and animal problem is MY problem? Nope. It’s a job requirement to show up in person on day X.  Agree or quit.[/quote]

Employees are, you know, human.[/quote]

Yep, and they only have to be working around 40 hours a week out of 168. Take your car to the shop on your own time or use your vacation day for an emergency.[/quote]

You are a real problem solver eh? 
Also you might want to make it clear to your employees that they are only required to work 40 hours. The issue with many managers is they throw around 40-hour work weeks when it behooves them in discussions like this knowing full well that the job requires 40+.  Vacation time must be approved ahead of time for most organizations.

DP here.  I have rented a car to get to work, after my car was hit and run badly at work and required extensive repair.  No rental coverage.  Rental out of pocket for two months.  It was expensive, but I wanted to keep my job. [/quote]

Im the PP and we've been renting a car for 3 weeks as both of our cars are in the shop. And that means we are a one-car family right now. What I continue to say is that crap happens and to give people some grace but put them on notice. Employee retention is important and if she wasnt doing her job well, then she would be fired for cause anyways. 
It is just the filppant people who always have answers that involve quick turnarounds or lots of cash or these magical dealers that give loaner cars. If a car is broken down, taking it to the shop on my own time doesnt solve the problem of work getting done. It also doesnt mean a shop will take your car. We had to wait 4 days to drop one of ours off because they are so busy. Cars right now - between interest rates on loans, prices of used cars, repair prices, repair timelines, lack of staffed auto shops, and jacked up rental prices- are a capitalist circle jerk.
