Car expense for income tax purposes

Management employees who are on-call as part of their job responsibilities are assigned a company car. At the end of the year, we deduct the number of personal days that the person has the car (weekends and holidays), compute the car expense for those days (normally around $3/day) and add this cost to the employee's wages as income. I have had a question as to whether the personal use of the car can be added to the income since the person is on-call. I need help to understand how a company owned car, assigned to an employee for use in their position, is treated for wage and tax purposes.
