Cycle to Work 2024
It’s back …….. for the second time in 2024!
The scheme is open from Monday 2nd December 2024 and will run to Tuesday 17th December 2024, just in time to grab a bargain in the sales!
The scheme has some fantastic new additions being an increased limit of £3000 and you can now choose to repay from your monthly salary over a 12 or 24 month period.
It’s a great scheme to help you get active and it’s easy to apply. Select a bicycle and safety accessories, taking advantage of the savings available from tax benefits. You can choose your new bike and accessories from hundreds of brands in-store or online from Halfords, Tredz, or one of the independent bike shops that Halfords work with.
Please remember the Cycle2Work Scheme is not solely for personal use – The Department of Transport and HMRC guidelines states that the cycle must be used to cycle primarily to and from work, this should be around 50% of the usage.
During this period, if you want to opt into the scheme* you should either:
Log on to www.halfords.com/cycle2work – use one of the following employer code:
For the 12 month salary sacrifice scheme the code is MORAYC2W12
For the 24 month salary sacrifice scheme the code is MORAYC2W24
Or you can phone Halfords on 0345 504 6444
* conditions apply
What to do:
- have a look at the bicycles and safety accessories available at either the Halfords stores or online at www.halfords.com
- decide how much you need to spend and over what period you would like to pay
- complete the Halfords Hire Agreement by logging on to www.halfords.com/cycle2work
- ‘sign’ an electronic version and payroll and HR will be alerted that you have applied
- after processing the Hire Agreement, it will be countersigned by Human Resources, and you will receive a letter of collection via email
• once you receive your Letter of Collection go to Halfords (or the store you have chosen) and place your order.
The Halfords website has a list of the shops they work with which includes local ones – if you cannot see the shop you wish to get bike from let Halfords know and they will approach the shop and find out if they want to join the scheme if they are not already in partnership with Halfords.
If you cannot access the scheme online or have any questions, you can phone Halfords on 03455 046444.
Please note – before you sign up to a Hire Agreement you MUST read the operational guidelines on interchange and the information available on the Halfords website and the terms and conditions of the Hire Agreement thoroughly as this is a contractual document that is binding. Once signed up, you are obliged to pay the full amount across the length of the hire period and if you leave the council‘s employment during that period you are liable to pay the balance. The FAQ section of the website is also useful for answering questions and providing good advice.
