The third-party payer system lets your employees order their public transport subscription directly on Mbrella for their home-office commute.
Once the subscription is bought and ordered, the Mbrella concierge creates an expense to deduct from the employee's budget.
The timing for creating expenses differs based on the public transport organization:
STIB and De Lijn
The expense is created immediately upon ordering by the Mbrella concierge.
SNCB
The expense is created upon receipt of the SNCB invoice, as a subscription is only ordered when the employee activates it at the station or on their MySNCB account. These invoices are generated once per month around the 15th.
TEC
The expense is created based on a monthly check of active subscriptions, as a subscription is invoiced as soon as the employee orders it on the TEC platform after receiving authorization from Mbrella.
