A local authority that’s not promoting wellbeing?! And this close to a generel election too, tut tut 🙂
As above it’s entirely up to them I suppose but it’s quite surprising that they won’t let you use it. As far as I know anyone working for a company that provides the scheme is eligible, I used to get a car allowance and it didn’t stop me using the company C2W scheme so I’d say that part is BS.
Do they already provide C2W or would they have to set it up for you? Perhaps they just can’t be bothered with the admin that it involves? After all everybody knows how lazy HR departments are 😉
If they’d need to set it up it might be worth you asking around to find other folks that would want to take advantage of it. If you can prove demand they might be more inclined to help.
