Other Employee benefits

Public Transport season ticket scheme 

The season ticket scheme allows you to obtain a season pass from a number of different travel operators within the county.

There are many types of season pass available, including annual tickets, and options for occasional users of public transport, who can obtain a 100 or 150 day pass from Nottingham City Transport as part of this scheme. 

Employees pay between 5% and 8% less compared to purchasing products directly from NCT. These kind of savings are available for other operators.

Discounted Rail and Tram annual season tickets are also available through the scheme.

If you are an existing employee you will find further information and how to apply on the intranet. 

Cycle to work scheme 

Within the government's Green Transport Plan to promote greener journeys and reduce environmental pollution, there’s a tax exemption which allows employers to provide bikes and safety equipment as a tax-free benefit to employees who wish to cycle to work.

Bikes can be used for leisure purposes but at least 50% of the use should be for:

  • journeys to and from work
  • other work purposes.

Childcare Voucher Scheme

We have appointed a company called Computershare Voucher Services to administer childcare vouchers to our employees using a salary sacrifice scheme. Through this scheme, working parents can opt to exchange part of their salary for childcare vouchers.

Exempt from tax and National Insurance contributions, childcare vouchers are used to pay for any form of registered or approved childcare, including nurseries, nannies and pre- and after-school clubs.

Parents employed by us are able to save up to £1196 per year on childcare (subject to individual circumstances), by requesting up to £243 per month in vouchers.

For further information on whether you could benefit by using this scheme, contact Computershare Voucher Services on 0845 002 1111 or visit the Computershare Voucher website.
