Volkswagen brand chief Herbert Diess has stated that the company is encouraging its workers to get in touch with internal investigators. He also promised that any employee who will come forward would be granted amnesty. However, depending on the information provided, employees might be transferred to another department.
"Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements who get in touch promptly, but no later than November 30, 2015 and may rest assured that the company will waive consequences under labor law such as the termination of employment, and will not make any claim for damages," Diess said in an internal memo, according to BBC News.
