If the employee leaves (or is dismissed) before the
end of the repayment period despite having no doubt signed a contract to
say they must repay the loan in full, I'm sure some slip through the net.

There are two obvious ways round this.

Make it a condition that when leaving employment you return the card
(the employer can then get a refund of at least the majority of the
outstanding fare). If the employee fails to do this, report them to the
police just as you would if they absconded with a company car.

And/or: Don't hand over their final month's money, or any severance pay,
until the matter is resolved.
