Fuel Card Programme (FCP)

Who: People Services will administer the programme, which is applicable to Band A – E employees, who are contractually entitled to a Company Car or Car Allowance.

An ongoing requirement exists for all eligible employees to record their business mileage using the Traxmiles Business Mileage Capture System. A How To Guide can be requested from People Services.

Please note employees must register with Traxmiles to enable this process.

What: For eligible employees, deductions are made two months in arrears from their pay. This deduction is used to offset the cost of fuel/electricity purchased via the Amey Fuel Card for all private/non-work-related journey.

Deductions will be made based on recorded mileage via Traxmiles Business Mileage Capture System and total spend on the Amey Fuel Card. Business mileage will be reimbursed via the Traxmiles Business Mileage Capture System at the relevant HMRC Advisory Fuel Rates.

For more information on understanding the full terms and conditions of the Fuel Card Programme (FCP), see Amey’s Company Car, Car Allowance and Fuel Card Policy and Guidelines via the links on this page.

Why: Amey is committed to supporting its employees by providing Fuel Cards to enable Company Car employees to carry out their work efficiently and safely whilst receiving discounts on fuel/electricity for work related journeys.  However, Amey will not meet the cost of fuel/electricity for private travel as it falls outside the intended purpose of a Company Car.
