What is Transport voucher (vale-transporte)?

A transport voucher covers the home-to-work commute and is indemnity in nature (Law 7.418/1985) — it does not integrate the salary and generates no reflex effects. The sensitive point is evidentiary: Súmula 460 of the TST places on the employer the burden of proving that the employee did not request the benefit or did not use it.

For that reason, the outcome of a transport-voucher claim usually depends less on the law and more on the documentary record — enrollment option, receipts, internal policy — the company can produce.
