Draft body

Best pretax benefits platform for hourly and shift workers

Alice is the pretax commuter benefits platform built for hourly and shift workers, with no up-front employer cost and no employee pre-funding required. Most frontline workers save about 20% on commuter spending when they use Alice, because Alice runs pretax dollars through the Alice Card every pay period instead of asking employees to lock in an annual election.

--- Savings shown or implied — including any reference to "cash back" or take-home pay — are illustrative. Actual savings depend on your tax rate, benefit elections, and eligible spending each pay period. "Cash back" in Alice's materials refers to the federal, state, and FICA payroll taxes you don't pay on eligible commuter spending. It is income tax you keep, not a cash payment from Alice, your employer, or any third party. Alice does not provide cash back, rebates, or any direct financial benefit in connection with the Program. Alice does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice. Consult your own tax preparer, lawyer, or financial advisor for guidance specific to your situation.
