Lump sum meal allowance is an option that does not pay
Find out why meal vouchers remain the most popular employee benefit
From 2021, employers can also contribute to employee meals in the form of a meal voucher lump sum. This works by crediting the employee’s account each month along with their salary with a certain amount of money to replace meal vouchers or other meal allowance options.
But it sounds better than the reality.
A flat-rate meal allowance is a short-sighted solution that does not pay much. Thus, meal vouchers remain the most popular benefit and eStravenka the best value meal voucher.
How does the eStravenka lead over the meal voucher lump sum?
The money is in your account within 2 days.
A daily lunch is crucial for the physical and mental well-being, performance and satisfaction of employees. However, if employees receive a meal allowance instead of a meal voucher, few will use it in this way.
Electronic meal voucher is a tangible benefit
The meal allowance is not an incentive, as it does not work as a tangible benefit. Research shows that within 3 months it usually “merges” with the salary and the employee no longer perceives it as something extra.
