How do I manage employee subsidies?

Below is an outline of how jawnt seamlessly allows your organization to offset the cost of transit benefits for your organization and how to feed this data back into payroll.

Setting an employee subsidy

During onboarding in the jawnt platform, an HR admin will set a desired employee subsidy percentage for their organization. This percentage represents the total benefit cost that will be covered by the employer.

Organizations can choose any subsidy level between 0% - 100%, and this subsidy percentage applies to all benefits and all employees.

If you need more control over subsidies (eg. varying percentages per employees or benefits), contact your jawnt account manager or email [email protected] to set this up.

Integrating data back into payroll

With a simple CSV download, the jawnt platform returns data to your organization about your employees' enrollment in these transit benefits. The information in this report can easily be imported back into an HRIS or Payroll system.

These CSV reports include the following data:

employee_id	Unique identifier used to track the employee in the HRIS application.	ABC1234567	String
