Save Your Team 30%+ on Public Transport and Bikes

Hosted by Extraordinary & Workride, featuring Air New Zealand

Featuring: Steve Zinsli, CEO Extraordinary · Aidan Smith, Co-founder Workride · Felicity Cammock, Senior People Specialist, Air New Zealand

There's never been a better time to think about how you support your team's commute. With the cost of living squeezing everyone, commuting is one of the most real, recurring financial pressures your people face and as an employer, you're now well-placed to actually do something about it.

In this webinar, Steve (CEO, Extraordinary), Aidan (co-founder, Workride), and Felicity (Senior People Specialist, Air New Zealand) walk through two Inland Revenue-approved salary sacrifice schemes that let employees pay for their commute using pre-tax income, saving them real money, at little to no cost to your organisation.

What's covered

The tax-free public transport benefit Extraordinary holds New Zealand's only binding ruling from Inland Revenue for a pre-tax public transport scheme. Employees reduce their gross salary by their weekly transport spend, and that amount lands on their Extraordinary card each pay cycle, ready to tap on any bus, train, or ferry in New Zealand. The result? Employees spend around $31 and get $50 back for their commute. That's over $900 a year back in their pocket.

The bike benefit with Workride Workride pioneered the salary sacrifice programme for bikes and e-bikes in New Zealand, after successfully lobbying for tax legislation changes in 2023. Employees can save 30–50%+ on the cost of a bike or e-bike, depending on the programme. It's fully digital, and Workride handles everything from onboarding to activation.

A real-world case study from Air New Zealand Felicity shares how Air New Zealand rolled out both benefits to 12,000+ employees, why they did it, how implementation actually worked, and what the results have looked like. 11% of their corporate team are now on the PT scheme, saving an average of $650 a year. 700 employees have signed up to Workride, saving an average of $1,700 on the cost of their bike.
