To use staff car park?

[rubbleonthedouble]

1st world problem here, sorry if it's somewhat trivial compared to most threads I am genuinely grappling with my conscience!

I work admin in a hospital and pay £40pm for the use of the staff car park. I'm on annual leave this week but I'm going up to the hospital to visit a friend today who is an inpatient. I was going to use the staff car park but is that taking the piss?? Should I just do as all other visitors do and stump up £4 to park?

No, you've paid for parking so you can use it.

Park in the staff car park.

No park in the staff car park. You have already paid to park there :)

I am in the same position as you. I would park in the staff car park.

staff car park! you pay for it!

£4 for visitors? really?! that's terrible

Use your pass! You have qualified, and paid for, the right to park there.

You'd be daft not to use it (assuming you can get a space at this time of day).

I have an annual season ticket for the railway, paid for with a loan from work - I use it all the time at weekends and when I'm not working. It's the same thing.

I also work in a hospital and on the rare occasions I go to the hospital when I'm not working I use my staff permit

Absolutely use it - you've paid for it. I presume you don't pay less because you're on leave therefore you're entitled to use the car park you've paid for

Park in the staff one. In my hospital the fine you for parking in visitors carpark if you have paid for a staff permit. Even if you pay! Don't think they like the staff very much.

you've paid - use it

Use it. And free up a space for a visitor.

I work at an airport and don't even have to pay for a car park pass.

Do I pay to park on the extortionate when I go away on holiday for a few days....

Let me think

Use it unless the car park rules state you can only park there when you are working.

You're still staff, even when you're on holiday!

It depends if there is always plenty of space in the staff car park then I would park but if its difficult to find a space I would be considerate to the staff currently on duty and park in visitors.

I also work in a hospital and pay a monthly fee for carpark. My dad has regular appts at the hospital and I always use my permit when I take him. Perks of the job!

I always use my staff permit when parking in the hospital, even when on mat leave. As others have said it is one of the perks!
