Cycle to Work - Employees Under 18 (for UK only)

Background

An employee can still apply for Cycle to Work if they are under 18. In order to enter in to a Salary Sacrifice Agreement and Hire Agreement, their application must be supported by a parent or guardian.

Steps for an employee who is under 18:

1. Apply for Cycle to Work via their employee engagement platform during an active application window
2. Download a Guarantor Form from the Order History page 
3. Get the Guarantor Form signed by a parent or guardian and return to their Cycle to Work approver 
4. Wait for the Cycle to Work approver to review

Steps for an Employer with under 18 applications:

1. Any applications from employees under the age of 18 (according to DoB data provided by the client) will be flagged in the Pending Applications listing in SmartPay™ 
2. Wait for the employee to return their signed Guarantor Form 
3. Approve/Reject application once signed Guarantor Form is received 

Even if auto-approval is switched 'ON' and salary information is supplied, the application will always require manual approval. This is because the Guarantor Form must be sighted before reviewing the under-18 application.
