This was shortly after the company had been formed and we made a huge stink about it and it disappeared for the full-time employees (I believe contract workers, paid interns, and part timers were still charged).
I never considered it would be standard for employers to charge employees for parking in HFL, though, and just assumed it was one in a long line of bad management decisions.
For the record (and this may have changed), that garage was never near capacity. Only during Sun Devil games did it ever come close. I parked along the south wall, third pole from the eastern wall, on the third floor. That floor was maybe 40% occupied on business days. Higher up and the garage was almost entirely empty and occupied mostly by people with nicer cars that didn't get the VIP spots under the garage.
Even with HFLIII and possible overflow from Marina Heights, I can't see it ever being full on normal days. Will Monti's replacement have a garage with it? That's the only thing I can think of that could maybe push it toward capacity.
EDIT: Just remembered the (I think) hotel going up to the east of the garage. That will make the garage more crowded, but unless it's a 20 story hotel filled to capacity every single day, I don't see it making that big an impact on a garage that was as empty as that one usually was.

Yes, Rio+Mill will have an integrated parking structure as any project should in a downtown. Marina Heights also has two humungous garages attached to their buildings, so overflow had better not be happening.
The hotel is ~5 stories BTW.
