Mobility that
does better*

Yes. The allowance does not have to be negotiated in a bargaining round to exist inside the company.

Official guidance is clear that setting the allowance up is not something you are required to negotiate, even though travel is a subject employers of 50 people or more with an employee representative body are expected to put on the table.

In practice the employer can therefore introduce the allowance on its own, which makes for a quick and positive roll-out.

Yes. Where there is no collective agreement, the employer can set the amount and the terms of the allowance itself, after consulting the employee representative body where one exists.

That flexibility lets you move without adding a line to an already crowded employee relations calendar, while keeping the framework watertight.

Pedalio brings together support in setting the allowance up, a free internal launch, a dedicated marketplace and the backing of cycling experts, all in one journey. For the company, it turns a travel benefit into something simple to run; for employees, it makes the switch to more sustainable travel more concrete, more reachable and more appealing.

Yes. Pedalio works with companies on the practical side of the allowance, turning a regulatory framework that can feel technical into a scheme that is simple to launch internally.

That support can cover understanding the scheme, preparing the launch, getting employees on board and organising the practical side of kitting them out with bikes.

Once the allowance is in place, a clear and lively launch plan tells your teams about it, makes the benefit visible and speeds up take-up inside the company.

The aim is simple: make the scheme immediately concrete for employees, with direct access to the Pedalio marketplace and a clear path to getting kitted out.

Employees can kit themselves out through the Pedalio marketplace and be pointed towards the options that suit how they ride, what they can spend and the journey they make to work.

They can also talk to cycling experts for advice on choosing a bike, kit or accessories, or on the best option for the way they ride.

Yes, as long as the process is well structured. Formally, the employee has to give the employer a signed declaration or a proof of payment, and the amount covered has to appear on the payslip.

Within that framework, Pedalio simplifies the admin: receipts go out automatically every month, and the administrator interface is built for smooth day-to-day use.

Pedalio also works hand in hand with every mobility benefit provider, so that employees using our services are reimbursed without friction.

Yes. The allowance is exempt from social security contributions and, for the employee, from income tax, within the limits the rules set out.

Under the current official figures, the maximum exempt amount is 600 euros per employee per year in the private sector, rising to 900 euros where it is combined with an employer contribution to a public transport pass.
