I guess if the fare code purchased is some Priceline-type code, then there would be no frequent flier miles.
In terms of a company forcing an employee to give the company miles, I don't think it's workable. Obviously, the company could fire an employee who wouldn't play the game. Absent this, what's to prevent the employee from saying, "no, I don't want to be a part of those FF programs -- they're all scams." Then, in order to do an end-run around the Travel Dept., the employee just sends the BP to the airline after the fact and gets the miles anyway?
