Commuting-Related Benefits
What to Know
Let’s face it: Traveling to and from work probably isn’t your favorite part of the day. But your daily commute can be more affordable and convenient with support from these commuting-related benefits.
Commuter Benefits
All Exelixis employees are eligible to deduct up to $315 per month pretax to cover transit and parking expenses for commutes to and from work. In turn, your taxable income for the year decreases. And if your commute costs you more than $315 a month, don’t worry; Exelixis tacks on a subsidy of up to $100 to offset your cost for those reporting into an Exelixis office. It’s our way of saying that we’re happy you’re here! And it’s easy to register and place your monthly orders.
Covered Expenses
There are two separate commuter check programs that cover:
- Transit expenses, including tickets and passes for mass transit systems such as bus, ferry, train, trolley, BART, etc., and fees for eligible ride-share services such as uberPOOL, Lyft Line, Via and Chariot
- Parking expenses at public transportation lots
What’s NOT covered?
- Tolls
- Taxis
- Gas/fuel
- Mileage
- Business trip costs
- Airport parking fees
- Parking fees at your home
- Any other expenses not explicitly covered under the Commuter Benefits program
