Pilot Program
Seamless setup for long-term success. A pilot gives your HR, Payroll, and Finance teams the opportunity to trial the full process in a low-risk, controlled setting. It builds internal confidence, sets accountability, and helps resolve any questions before launch.
How it works
The pilot supports 1-3 employees to trial the full Workride process from start to finish. These early champions help your team validate each step in a low-risk setting, building confidence before wider rollout - all fully supported by your Workride Account Manager.
3 key actions
A pilot enables your team to test the 3 streamlined employer actions required to facilitate the Workride benefit.
-
Workride sends a review and approval email to your benefit manager. This includes a streamlined two-click digital approval and countersigning of the employee’s salary sacrifice agreement. The same approval can also be managed through the Workride benefit management portal, where PO numbers can be added if needed. The process is designed to take less than a minute per approval, ensuring a fast and seamless user experience.
-
Once approved, an invoice is generated and sent to your Accounts Payable team for payment on the next cycle. For first-time users, Workride provides easy supplier onboarding and has worked through procurement and security compliance with many of NZ's largest employers.
-
All major payroll systems in NZ can support salary sacrifice. Once set up and configured, entering the employee sacrifice is quick and simple, usually under 1 minute per participant.
Why this works?
Pilots reduce friction and build confidence—giving your team a risk-free way to trial Workride. It’s how over 1,000 organisations have successfully adopted the program, while early champions help boost engagement across your workforce.
