Commute reimbursement programme

The commute reimbursement programme is designed to help employees who take public transport with the cost of an annual, monthly, or weekly pass. Receive up to 50% of your transport costs, tax-free. Note that individual tickets are not eligible to be reimbursed.

All regular employees and Adobe-paid temps are eligible. You may not claim reimbursement for public transport if you currently have the Company car benefit.

Important notes

If you purchased an annual, monthly, or weekly subscription ticket, you will be required to submit proof of purchase that shows the amount paid, the pass purchase date, and the transport pass details in order for your claim to be approved. Review these examples for receipts that are acceptable [PDF] and one that is not acceptable [PDF].

For annual subscription tickets, your benefit selection will remain in place for a period of 12 months from the month following the approval of your submitted claim on My Adobe Benefits portal.

For example, if your annual subscription starts on 1st January to 31st December and you have submitted the reimbursement claim in March, your first reimbursement payment will be made in the April payroll and will remain in place until March of the following year.

Claims for reimbursement must be made in the same year that you receive a receipt of purchase (e.g., a receipt dated in 2023 is valid for a claim submitted in 2023).

Once your claim is approved, Adobe will reimburse you 50% of the monthly or annual pass cost through payroll. Depending on submission and approval dates, reimbursements will be issued in accordance with normal pay periods and timelines for France.
