Feature Scope
- A platform offering up to 25 benefits/incentives, including: €50/€60 in non-cash benefits, meal vouchers, commuter passes/public transportation, travel allowance, internet flat rate/allowance, cell phone allowance, daycare allowance, vacation allowance, expense optimization, shopping discounts, electronic gifts, e-bikes & bicycles, occupational pension/health insurance, social recognition, and much more.
- Flexible selection and employee self-service: Employers load a budget into the platform; employees select their desired benefits.
- Process automation and compliance workflows: secure processing and data transfer; digital booking lists; algorithmic calculation of benefits (e.g., meal allowances for expense optimization); annual audit processes (e.g., mobile phone bill verification); paper-based confirmations, upload, and approval processes (e.g., daycare subsidies in accordance with tax authorities) are managed via the platform.
- Voucher and portal integration: Travel voucher portal for vacation subsidies; vouchers can be purchased in advance and presented in person.
- Shop integration via interface: Online electronics shop is connected to the platform via an interface; delivery directly to employees’ home addresses; issues/returns handled via the platform.
- Tax optimization: Utilization of tax allowances and flat-rate taxation (e.g., vacation allowance subject to only 25% flat-rate tax; §37b EStG 30% flat-rate tax up to a €10,000 bonus; doubling of expenses with a flat-rate taxed allowance).
- Efficiency for HR: reduced administrative burden, no additional payroll accounting effort for certain benefits (e.g., expense optimization); central web portal for configuration and management.
- Security: processing repeatedly described as “secure/reputable”; data transfer via the platform; publicly linked Vulnerability Disclosure Policy.
- Integrations: Interface connections to partner shops and portals (electronics shop, travel voucher portal)
