(a) Authorization. Any employee of the City of Los Angeles who is a passenger on a City Employee Rideshare Program vanpool vehicle may, if required to pay vanpool fares therefor, authorize the payment of said vanpool fares by payroll deduction, provided that the number of voluntary payroll deductions by said employee shall not exceed ten. The authorization for such deduction shall be in such form as the City Controller may determine, shall be signed by the employee and delivered to the City Controller and, thereafter, until revoked or cancelled by such employee, shall be effective as of the end of each respective payroll period.
(b) Refund. In the event the deduction taken applies in whole or in part to a month subsequent to the month in which an employee withdraws from a vanpool, or in which an employee’s vanpool is terminated, the employee is entitled to a refund of that portion of the deduction applying to such subsequent month, provided that the employee has complied with the provisions of the Passenger Agreement contained in the City’s Vanpool Program Manual.
(c) Effect of Payment. The payment to any employee of a paycheck or demand equal to the difference between the salary earned and deductions made pursuant to this article shall constitute a full and complete discharge and acquittance of all claims and demands whatever for the services rendered by such employee during the period covered by such payroll check or demand.
(d) Duties of the Controller. The Controller shall perform such duties as may be necessary in the processing of such deductions, shall advise the Personnel Department as to the names of those employees who have authorized such deductions, and shall pay such amounts to the Personnel Department for deposit into the City Employee Rideshare Fund. The Controller shall neither charge nor collect any fee for services performed under this article.
