Can I participate in the cycle to work scheme?
To participate in the scheme you must receive your salary via the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and be a working adult aged 16 or over. Your employer needs to be signed up and your earnings should be more than the National Living Wage (NLW) or National Minimum Wage (NMW) after the salary sacrifice is taken from your gross salary.
If you are paid on or near NLW/NMW, your employer may be able to offer an alternative means of applying to participate in the scheme and you will still be able to benefit through reduced cost of hire.
It is worth noting that there is no credit check if you wish to participate, and if you are under 18 you can join the scheme if your guardian signs a guarantor agreement. Being on probation should not affect your eligibility - if you are unsure, please check with your employer.
If you are not sure how to apply or what the next steps are, there's a bunch of useful information below:

I don't know my employer code
An employer code allows you to apply via your specific employer's scheme. You may not know your employer code for a few reasons...
- Is your employer signed up? Search our site, or ask your line manager
- Are you self-employed? You can sign yourself up as long as you pay your tax via PAYE
- You've forgotten the code? Use the employer search tool or ask your manager
Employer search tool
You can search for your employer by name on our homepage. If you still cannot find them your best bet is to ask your boss or HR contact or to contact Cyclescheme.
