There are certain groups of people for whom special considerations must be taken into account in connection with company bike leasing. This article explains how participation is regulated for, for example, trainees, and which points employers should be aware of.
General Regulation
If the employer offers bike leasing, they can generally allow all employees to participate. The employer should be aware that, for example, the Employer Default Insurance (AGV) cannot be used in some cases and that they must continue to pay the leasing rates until the end of the contract term.
Why are trainees restricted?
- The leasing term is 36 or 48 months.
- For trainees, there is an increased risk that the employment relationship will end before the end of the leasing term.
- As a result, compliance with the contract conditions cannot be guaranteed - the AGV does not apply.
Decision lies with the employer
- The employer is the decision-maker and can allow exceptions.
- We recommend that this decision is documented internally.
Which other employee groups are restricted?
- Employees on probation
- Employees with a fixed-term employment contract
- Employees with wage garnishment
- Employees who will retire during the leasing term
