Wageworks Commuter Savings Program

WageWorks Commuter Benefits enable Lab employees to save money by using pretax dollars to pay for their commuter expenses.

How it works:

Employees place their orders directly through WageWorks by the 10th of each month for the fulfillment of their next month’s elections. Payroll deducts the employee elections from their paycheck once a month.

Employees can enroll, make changes or cancel their enrollment order and payroll related transactions by the monthly cut-off date by the 10th of each month.

Employees receive their elected orders from WageWorks by the 1st of each month, mailed to their home address or any location specified.

Where to use it:

The WageWorks Commuter Benefits cover a wide range of commuting options, including bus, train, ferry, cable car, and vanpool. Below are just some Bay Area public transit options for your WageWorks Commuter Benefits:
