# Transportation Flat Fee Stipend – How It Works

To create a simpler, more consistent, and sustainable transportation process for both employees and clients, SnapChef has moved to a flat fee transportation program for select shifts.

Some SnapChef shifts include a flat flee transportation payment to help offset travel costs.

• If a payment is available, it will be clearly listed in the job posting *before* you accept the shift.  
• The flat fee amount will be listed in the job details at the time of acceptance.  
• The payment is paid per shift.  
• This is a flat fee — not reimbursement.

The payment is designed to help cover average travel costs from a SnapChef office location. It may or may not cover your full travel expense.

### Important:

• If you live **within 12 miles of the site, you are not eligible** for the transportation payment.  
• You are responsible for getting to work on time using any method you choose (rideshare, public transportation, carpooling, driving, etc.).  
• If your travel costs less than the stipend, you keep the difference.  
• If your travel costs more, you are responsible for the additional amount.

### **Frequently Asked Questions**

**Q: Does the payment cover my full transportation cost?**  
A: Not necessarily. It is a flat per-shift amount designed to help offset average travel costs. It may cover more or less than your actual expense.

**Q: Is the payment based on where I live?**  
A: No. The payment is based on the shift location and client approval — not individual home addresses.

**Q: How do I know if a shift includes a stipend?**  
A: The payment amount will be clearly listed in the job details before you accept the shift.

**Q: How is the payment paid?**  
A: The stipend is paid per shift through payroll, like your regular wages.

**Q: Can Operations book my ride for me?**  
A: Transportation booking is no longer standard practice. Employees are responsible for arranging their own transportation.

**Q: What if my transportation costs more than the payment?**  
A: You are responsible for any cost beyond the stipend amount.

**Q: What if my transportation costs less than the payment?**  
A: You keep the difference.
