The guidance makes clear that if a salary sacrifice agreement would put an employee’s salary below the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage, there are various options available to the employer. These include offering the employee a longer than usual hire period, or hiring a cycle to them under an employer loan scheme. The Department has no current plans to make any further changes to the Cycle to Work scheme.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 17/12/2021 10:28:34 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2021 answer text <p>The introduction of a reduced weekday timetable from 26 July 2021, and further amended on 6 September, is a temporary measure in response to COVID-19 related challenges. The recently published timetable has considered passenger usage and anticipated demand levels which are still significantly below pre-pandemic levels. There will be no additional compensation for season ticket holders unless their journey is delayed, as services are still available for passengers to use. If passengers are delayed, based on the published timetable, then they can claim delay repay from 15 minutes as usual.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 13/09/2021 15:04:35 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
