Wat zijn de voordelen voor werknemers?

Fietsleasing is … voor alles goed. 

Financieel voordeel 
  • Je betaalt de fiets met je bruto-eindejaarspremie. Dat maakt een leasefiets tot 40% goedkoper dan wanneer je er zelf een koopt met je nettoloon. 
  • Onderhoud en bescherming bij schade of diefstal zijn inbegrepen, ook aan dat voordelige tarief.
Goed voor de planeet
  • Fietsen is een duurzaam alternatief voor de auto
Beter in je vel 

  • Dagelijks fietsen is meer dan gezond: het ontspant, vermindert stress en geeft je energie voor en na je werkdag. 
  • Je staat nooit meer in de file.

How do I know which joint committee I'm in?

Check your payslip: your JC number should be listed there. If you are unsure, ask your HR manager.

Beïnvloedt de centenindex het leasebudget?

Nee, de centenindex beïnvloedt het leasebudget niet. De centenindex heeft namelijk geen invloed op de eindejaarspremie, waarmee werknemers de leasefiets financieren. 

Kunnen werknemers ook langer of korter dan 3 jaar leasen?

Nee, de leasetermijn ligt vast op 3 jaar.

 Kan elke werknemer een fiets leasen?

Enkel werknemers die regelmatig de fiets gebruiken om naar het werk te komen, kunnen een fiets leasen. Werknemers die dus altijd thuiswerken, kunnen geen fiets leasen. 

Komt een werknemer regelmatig met de fiets naar het werk, maar enkel voor een deel van het woon-werktraject? Dat is geen probleem: ook dan mag de werknemer een fiets leasen.

Hoe wordt de loonruil verrekend over de looptijd van het contract?

De loonruil loopt gelijk met het leasecontract van de werknemer. Alleen de maanden waarin het contract effectief loopt, worden meegenomen.

Bijvoorbeeld: start een werknemer op 1 juli, dan ziet de verrekening er zo uit:

  • 6 maanden verrekening in het eerste jaar
  • 12 maanden verrekening in het volledige tweede en derde jaar
  • 6 maanden verrekening in het laatste jaar
