Does an employer have to provide free parking?

Asked by casheroo (18106points) June 13th, 2009

Basically, I pay to work because of all the parking tickets I receive.
I cannot afford these tickets and I constantly put quarters in the meter but I get busy at work and can’t put them in all the time. But, the quarters add up..so that’s paying to work as well :(
Is it unusual for an employer to not provide any parking at all? Is the employer responsible at all? Or am I crap out of luck?

The final straw was yesterday when I should have been out, but my boss decided to berate me for twenty minutes and I got a ticket during that time period. I find it unfair that I should have been done work but she kept me to yell at me and now I have to pay for it
I’ve never worked at a place without a lot, all we have is a street and my boss has a permit to park in the metered lot but can’t get spots and she has over 17 tickets that she’s fighting.
