New employee? Opt for flexible leasing

You've found a new employee. The contract has been signed and the start date is fixed. The question about mobility often immediately comes up: a company car must be produced. As an employer, there is a great temptation to immediately look at a regular long-term lease contract, because that often seems to be the standard. However, in the current labor market, that is not always the smartest move, especially during the probationary period or the first year contract.

The risk of downtime

The reality is that a mismatch is always possible. In the unlikely event that the cooperation does not work, or if the employee decides to leave within a year, you, as an employer, have a problem. A permanent lease contract often runs for 48 to 60 months. If your employee leaves early, you'll be left with a car that may not suit the rest of your team, or worse, stop in the parking lot while the monthly costs continue.

Shortlease offers breathing space

Short lease is the ideal buffer for this phase. You provide your new colleague with a representative car immediately, but without the long-term obligations. At VWP Shortlease, the contracts can be canceled daily after the first month. So should the employment contract end prematurely, you simply return the car. No lump sum payments, no downtime.

Flexible flow

Do you like the cooperation from both sides after the probationary period? Then you have complete freedom. You can let the short lease contract run through, or you decide at that time to still order a fixed lease car that the employee can configure himself. Because delivery times for new cars are sometimes long, the short-lease car can serve perfectly as a leading car in the meantime.

This way, as an employer, you keep the financial risks low and your fleet remains as flexible as your workforce.
