Workwise: Information for Employers and Organisations

What is Workwise?

Workwise offers two 4-week travel passes free and a third pass at half price, to help new job starters get to their place of work.

Your employees and clients could benefit from Workwise if they’re:

  • starting, or have just started, a new job earning £30,000 a year or less
  • increasing their hours to 16 or more per week in a job they already have
  • not getting help with the cost of a travel pass

They can also apply for Workwise if they’ve been getting unemployment benefit. If they have, they can apply even if their salary is more than £30,000 a year.

The discount they get depends on how they travel.
