Q3 Top of Form
Allison Bond is dating Greg Evans. Both Allison and Greg work for the same federal contractor. They live on different sides of the closest city and commute separately to work. Employees are required to have parking decals issued to them for parking in the company lot. The decals are issued to individual employees and matched to their vehicles because of security reasons. The top secret work of the contractor requires that security be able to identify cars in the lot as associated with employees. Greg has a decal and Allison does not because there is a $100 annual fee for processing employees’ decals. Employees are given the option of parking at an open lot 2 miles from the company and taking a free bus ride to the company building. Greg has been assigned to work out of the country for the company for three months. Greg tells Allison to just use his decal for three months. Allison’s car is similar to Greg’s.
