Managing bike and pedestrian allowances for your employees? Sometimes you need flexibility in when these benefits become active. Whether you need to backdate an allowance or set it for a future date, we've got you covered with two simple methods.
Standard Process
Typically, administrators add employees to the benefit through the mobility hub. Employees can then activate the benefit from their Mbrella account and begin logging their journeys.
However, there are situations where greater flexibility in managing activation dates is necessary.
Two Methods for Modifying Benefit Activation
1. Automatic activation in Settings ⚙️
Go to Settings ⚙️ > Personalisation
Enable the option "Activate allowance upon attribution"
With this setting, benefits become active as soon as you assign them to employees
Employees can start logging their trips immediately without additional activation steps
2. Manual date adjustment per employee
Navigate to the employee's profile
Click on the Benefits tab
Select the specific allowance
Click Edit to modify the start date
Save your changes
💡 When adjusting dates, please note that Mbrella will automatically recalculate allowances based on the new timeframe.
