Returning Permits
Upon leaving UNC employment, an Employee who had payroll deduction paying for his/her parking permit needs to return the permit to UNC Parking Services to stop the payment obligation.
When a UNC employee leaves UNC and that employee has a parking permit that is being paid for through payroll deduction, there are necessary steps to take in order to end the obligation to make payments on that permit. The obligation to pay for the parking permit does not end when the person’s UNC employment ends. To stop payroll deductions and to end the obligation to pay for a parking permit, the person needs to inform Parking Services (ph# 970-351-1971) and (most importantly) return the permit directly to Parking Services office in Gray Hall. Use a razor scraper to remove a window sticker permit from a windshield; bring all of the pieces to Parking Services.
Individuals who return their permits after the 15th of the month will incur one more permit deduction from their current month paycheck. Suppose someone returns their permit after the 15th, but still needs to park on campus later in the month. This person can obtain a free temporary parking permit valid through the current month upon request when they return their permit to Parking Services. (Our office is open 8am – 5pm, M – F, when UNC is open.) This person will nonetheless incur a permit deduction draw at the end of the current month.
Individuals who return their permits before the 16th of the month will not incur a permit deduction from their current month paycheck. Suppose someone returns their permit before the 16th, but still needs to park on campus. This person can purchase a temporary parking permit at Parking Services. Alternatively they can park free on city streets.
Individuals who had a Monthly Payment Plan arrangement to pay for their parking permits must return their permits in order to stop having to make payments. If one of these permits is returned to Parking Services office by the 1st of the month, then the payment for the previous month would be the last payment. This is because their payments are due on the 1st of the month. These customers would incur a late fee if their payment is made after the 1st of the month. For more details about this category of permit payment, please contact Parking Services, ph# 970-351-1971.
All UNC parking permits are non-transferable and issued solely for the use of the applicant. These permits remain the property of UNC Parking Services. They may not be sold, given or loaned to anyone else.
Upon leaving UNC employment, Employees who had paid up front for their parking permits and do not want to use them anymore should shred the permits, cut up the permits or return the permits to Parking Services where we will shred them.
When an employee no longer needs his/her parking permit and when that permit had already been paid in full, the safe thing to do is to destroy that permit. Even an expired permit will link back to the person to whom it had been issued if that permit is visible in/on a vehicle that is being cited. The only way to know that the no-longer-needed permit could not fall into the wrong hands is to destroy the permit.
Alternatively, if a former employee intends to occasionally return to UNC and park on campus, they may wish to keep their permit and continue using it until it expires.
