solely on the issue of car ownership and nothing else. I seriously doubt that the actually think of the employee cars as theirs. One tact to take with them is the following: Are they adding into your contract that they will be funding motor vehicle insurance and paying the registration fees on employee cars? Furthermore, if they, in your eyes, are claiming some degree of ownership of employee vehicles, ask the hospital if the means that they are also financially liable for any accidents that their employees should have with said vehicles? Is the hospital also on the hook for any car loans that are currently outstanding on said vehicles. [ I would imagine that employees would love to be relieved of the financial burden of car ownerhip and love this new addition to their benefits package.

If you take that approach and you flip it into an added financial exposure on the part of the hospital you might find out that they fix the wording on their notice pretty quickly.
As I have said, it is all a matter of the approach you take and knowing how to play the game better then it.
