In the event that the employer discontinues continued payment of remuneration, e.g. if the employee leaves the company for a longer period due to illness, parental leave or other possible reasons, we will be happy to work together to find the best solution for all parties.
These may include, for example:
β Change of user. The employer offers the company bicycle to another colleague for the remaining term of the agreement. The employer takes all required internal measures for this. (e.g. supplementary agreements to the employment contract, handover of the company bicycle, etc.)
β Early termination of the leasing contract. The colleague who leaves the company pays off the remaining lease installments (without service and insurance costs)
β Cost-neutral dissolution. Lease a Bike offers a company in some cases an early, cost-neutral termination of existing individual leasing contracts. The conditions for this are defined in the cooperation agreement
In the case of salary conversion, you won't receive a part of the contractually agreed salary in cash, but as a payment in kind for the period of time during which the company bicycle is provided.
This means that a change is made by means of a so-called supplementary agreement to the employment contract, in which your future salary is reduced by a fixed amount (usually in the amount of the conversion rate) for the duration of the transfer of use.
This then results in a noticeable tax and contribution benefit for you.

Lease a Bike offers the company bicycle to the employee on request at a currently expected purchase price of 5% (48 months) or 15% (36 months) at the end of the contract. We pay a lump-sum tax on the monetary benefit resulting from the difference between 5% or 15% of the expected purchase price and the currently set market price of 40%. Proof of the flat-rate taxation treatment by us is provided on the sales invoice of the used company bicycle. Thus, the employer is not required to make a lump-sum or individual taxation of the monetary benefit arising from the sale to the employee via the wages and salaries accounting itself.
