Our aim is to minimise the administration for our clients and maximise savings for the employee.

One of the ways we do this is by managing the full end of hire process. Halfords will take full responsibility for this process directly with The Employer’s employees.

At the end of hire period Halfords will offer your employees 3 compliant options:

  1. Zero cost Managed Extended Hire (Most popular option with employers). The employee will have the option to enter a zero-cost extended hire arrangement directly with Halfords until the value has deprecated to a negligible point aligned with the HMRC cycle to work matrix table, when Halfords will then transfer ownership of the bike. This solution eliminates admin for the employer, maximises the savings through the scheme for the employee, and permits them to join the scheme again the following year. Halfords do not charge for Managed Extended Hire which can save your employees a further 3%, 7% or 10% compared to other scheme providers.
  2. Fair market value payment. The employee can take immediate ownership of the bike at the end of initial hire term by making a payment direct to Halfords for the fair market value of the bike. This value is defined by the HMRC matrix table which at the end of the initial hire term is 25% (Bike initial cost greater than £500) or 18% (bike initial cost less than £500) of the bikes original cost.
  3. Return the bike. Employees also have the option to return the bike at the end of the initial hire term to their local Halfords store where it will be safety checked and donated to ReCycle where bikes are refurbished and sent to Africa where they are essential means of transport across rural countries.

We will reach out to employee using the details we have on file to inform them that if they do not select an option from the list above within 30 working days, they will be automatically enrolled onto the zero-cost extended hire arrangement.
