6. CTW - Employees reached end of hire (Managed extended hire)

Status:  In Use

Title: Your Cycle to Work Hire Agreement is almost complete!

Copy: Hi {NAME},
Good news! You’re approaching the end of your Cycle to Work Hire Agreement. This means you’ll need to choose an option to transfer the ownership of the bike from your employer to you. They are:
Extending the hire period for 4-5 years – depending on the bike’s value.
Returning the bike with it being donated to charity.
Purchasing the bike for a small percentage of its original value.
You’ll be contacted by Halfords soon to confirm your choice. We recommend the first option as there will be no extra costs for you – and then the bike is yours forever! To do this, we will share your email address so that Halfords can administer Managed Extended Hire. They will manage this in accordance with their Privacy Policy which you can read here www.cycle2work.info/privacy. Managed Extended Hire is necessary at the end of your Hire Agreement due to HMRC guidelines. If you do not want your email shared, please contact your employer so they can remove you from this list and organise an alternative arrangement.
Remember, as soon as your Hire Agreement is complete, you can re-apply to get another bike or any equipment you need.
Best wishes,
boom! Team.
