How It Works

1.    Employer accepts Bike2Work or Cycle2Work Scheme’s terms & conditions and registers online and is given a unique employer PIN.

2.    Employee visits one of our partner shops (Doctor Scooter in this case) to make their selection and obtain a written quotation.

3.    Employee registers online with Bike2Work or Cycle2Work Scheme using the employer PIN and then logs in to submit their quotation, they will then be asked to agree to the Hire Agreement.

4.    The employer will receive notification that a quote has been submitted and they need to log in and approve the quotation.

5.    An e-mail will be sent to the employee to advise if their quote has been approved/declined.

6.    If approved, Bike2Work  or Cycle2Work Scheme will generate the Invoice and Salary Sacrifice.

7.    The employer will receive an email asking them to log in and download both the Invoice and Salary Sacrifice.

8.    The Salary Sacrifice needs to be signed by both employer and employee and kept for your records only.

9.    Once signed by both parties, payment can be made to Bike2Work or Cycle2Work Scheme as per the invoice.

10. The voucher will be processed the same day as payment clears in our account and sent directly to the bike shop.
