Question

Hello, There is an option to get a student card and purchase an annual pass at a discounted rate on Rav-Kav. The monthly payment is cheaper than a regular monthly pass. My employer pays me a monthly travel reimbursement — the cost of a regular monthly pass. My question is: if I pay less for travel, am I obligated to inform my employer (who pays me the travel reimbursement) so that they pay me less?

Answer

Hello 

You need to inform your employer.

The law regarding travel reimbursement states that if an employee has a profile that grants them a discount, the charge is only according to the employee's profile.
