How the mobility budget works

The mobility budget can be used as a payment method in the HSL app, allowing employees to purchase tickets at the employer's expense up to the agreed limit.

You can issue either a flexible mobility budget or a monthly mobility budget.

You can issue either a flexible mobility budget or a monthly mobility budget to all employees, or a flexible mobility budget to some employees and a monthly mobility budget to others.

A flexible mobility budget is issued manually once or several times a year.

A monthly mobility budget is a predefined amount issued automatically each month.

The mobility budget is a flexible commuter benefit that can be used to purchase the tickets employees need for their travel: single tickets, multi-journey tickets (10- and 20-journey tickets), day tickets (1–13 days) and season tickets (30–360 days, excluding auto-renewing saver subscriptions).

If the mobility budget does not cover the full ticket price, the beneficiary can pay the remaining amount using their own debit or credit card.

Once a mobility budget has been issued, employees can start using it immediately. We invoice employees' purchases monthly in arrears. There are no costs to the employer for any unused mobility budget.

The commuter benefit must always be reported to the tax authorities, even if the tax-free limit is not exceeded. On the Reports tab, you can retrieve information on benefits used during the selected period.
