Hi, I am in a childcare voucher scheme at work and get "e-vouchers". While I was on maternity leave I saved up the voucher amount and I'm not sure if they expire or not. The scheme is through Sodexo and on their website they talk about a 12-15 month expiry date. But surely that only applies to paper vouchers? I assume that the paper vouchers have an expiry date printed on them.


If the money is already in my Sodexo "account" then surely it is not going to expire if I don;t spend it? I'm thinking that the only problem would be if I change employer but I'm not planning on this any time soon. Eventually I will need it for nursery, after-school club etc but that might be in a year's time or so.


Does anyone know?

I am also with Sodexho and also looked at this issue. My understanding from looking at the website and the Q&A was that they do expire after 15 - 18 months (the electronic ones too) but you can get them extended if need be?


Probably best to call their helpline - here is the link to the Q&A from my website (run my sodexho) re the expiry:

'Do vouchers have an expiry date?

SayCare Pass vouchers last for 15 -18?months, so you can save them up for times when you may need extra childcare throughout the year.



What do I do if my vouchers have expired?

Sodexo Motivation Solutions has in the past undertaken to replace vouchers for a further 15 - 18?months. Contact us to find out more.'

Hi I spoke to Sodexo and they confirmed over the phone that both their paper and e-vouchers (the online ones) do expire. However, they will get in touch before the expiry date and as long as your reply to their email they will renew the vouchers. The man I spoke to made it sound quite straightforward and the expiry date was just an administrative thing to satisfy HMRC.

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
