NYNEX Telephone Service Allowance

People are always wondering whether or not telephone company employees get discounts on their phone bills.

Well, we've discovered that NYNEX offers two classes of what is known as Telephone Service Allowance (TSA).

This allowance can be used by NYNEX employees and their families for personal use as well as NYNEX business.  Forbidden activities include other businesses or political campaign activities.  The allowance only applies to the primary residence of the employee.

Class A service provides a 100 percent allowance while Class B provides a 50 percent allowance.  Those entitled to Class A status include management employees, non-management employees with 30 years or more, retired employees on a service or disability pension, and employees with specified job functions, particularly those on call 24 hours a day.

Those entitled to Class B generally include employees not eligible for Class A.
