Dematerialised meal vouchers offer many advantages for companies. These advantages are both economic, with the savings they allow, and practical, linked to their daily management.
The economic benefits of dematerialized luncheon vouchers
Exemption from charges
The best known advantage of meal vouchers is the exemption from social security contributions, which increases the purchasing power of employees at a lower cost to the company.
The exemption is limited to a value of 25 euros of meal vouchers per beneficiary per working day, excluding vacations during which no vouchers may be issued. There is also a maximum threshold for company contributions for each voucher, which changes each year. A decree dated May 31, 2023 raised the maximum exemption ceiling for employer contributions to the financing of meal vouchers to €6.91 per voucher (previously €6.50).
A socially responsible approach
By choosing Worklife dematerialized restaurant vouchers, you are supporting French restaurant owners. In fact, Worklife is the only issuer of restaurant vouchers to charge no direct commission to restaurant owners.
Practical benefits of dematerialised meal vouchers
- Alternative to the company restaurant
The first practical advantage of meal vouchers is that they enable companies with more than 25 employees to fulfil their obligation to set up a catering facility for these employees.
Indeed, joining the scheme is much cheaper, and much simpler, than providing suitable premises, installing a canteen on the premises, or sharing with other companies - the other accepted means of fulfilling this obligation.
- A card that can be reloaded remotely and accepted everywhere
One of the undeniable advantages of Worklife's dematerialised restaurant vouchers is the fact that they can be used everywhere (220,000 restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, etc.). Unlike paper restaurant vouchers, there is no minimum payment requirement.
- Your employees spend unlimited amounts and to the penny.
In restaurants and supermarkets, your employees can combine their personal payment card with their Worklife card. This way, they can pay with one card, with no limit on the amount!
- Simplified management
Finally, meal vouchers are extremely easy to manage from an accounting point of view. Worklife offers a unique and simple management interface for ordering, allocating and monitoring meal vouchers.
