Commuting Allowance

Written by Maylis Sledsens

The home-to-work travel allowance allows your employees to request an allowance for journeys made by bicycle or on foot between their home and workplace.

This allowance also covers journeys made using certain mobility devices, such as roller skates, kick scooters, skateboards, wheelchairs, or electric mobility scooters for people with reduced mobility.

📢 It applies exclusively to home-to-work journeys. It cannot be used for private travel or other personal journeys.

The allowance is calculated at €0.37 per kilometre.


⚙️ Activating the benefit in RewardFlex

1️⃣ Go to Budgets and select the relevant budget.

2️⃣Click on Action → Edit the budget.

3️⃣ Activate the benefit.

4️⃣ Save your changes.

Once the benefit has been activated, your employees will be able to access the service from the Benefits section and submit their reimbursement requests.


📍 Home-to-work distance

When activating or configuring the benefit, the distance between the employee's home and workplace can be recorded.

If this distance has already been defined by the employer, it will automatically be displayed when the employee submits a request and cannot be modified by the employee.

If no distance has been configured, the employee will be able to enter it when submitting their request.


✅ Request validation

Reimbursement requests submitted by employees are sent to the employer for approval.

  • An approved request is taken into account in the employee's Mobility Budget.

  • A rejected request allows the employee to retrieve the relevant days, correct them, and submit a new request.

  • The days associated with a request that has already been submitted can no longer be modified, unless the request is rejected.
