At a former job, a coworker was basically compelled to stop cycling, because company policy didn't provide for a space inside to store a bicycle (it was not an office job), and management insisted he chained up behind the 'employee parking' line, way out in the lot. He chained to a parking lot lamp, and was written up for taking up a space with a non-car object, and was told to chain to one of the light posts just off the property, along the road, which was very busy with both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. When he expressed his concern about that putting his bike in greater risk of being stolen, the response was predictable: "Why don't you just drive your car [the two miles] to work?"

I wouldn't doubt many claims of a company denying something like charging an electric bicycle's battery.
