Is Rogers overbilling your employees?

Last week the CRTC denied Rogers’ request that wireless service contracts for corporate individual plans (CIPs) and employee purchase plans (EPPs), entered into between December 2, 2013 and October 8, 2014, not be subject to the Wireless Code until their contract term expires (see here).   In CIP and EPP contracts, individuals are responsible for some or all of the charges associated with the account (including roaming charges, overage charges and cancellation fees).

If disputing this interpretation of the Wireless Code, then is Rogers overbilling individuals for any excessive data usage charges (beyond $50 per month) or data roaming charges (beyond $100 per month)?  Have they in fact capped the billing or are your employees eligible for a sizable rebate for billing beyond these thresholds?

I appreciate your feedback on this one.

Bonus Tip: Note your EPP and CIP contract start date.  You can terminate your contract 24 months after the start date without incurring termination charges.  Seek out terms available at that time.
