Example of the Meal Voucher Allowance in Flexi

Written by Zuzana Sýkorová

In this example, we will show you how to set up the Meal Allowance in Flexi.

Company Settings


​Company module -> Settings -> Modules -> Employees -> Document Types -> Meal Allowance - internal document types up to the limit/above the limit - set where this operation will be posted (if you want a special internal document type solely for the meal allowance, you must first create it in Internal Document Types).
​


​

Recurring Payroll Item


​Employees -> HR Records -> Recurring Payroll Items - here, click the "New" button to add a new payroll item, use the magnifying glass to select the preconfigured meal allowance, and fill in the date and whether you want the meal allowance to be calculated.

The value in the Percentage/Constant field represents the monetary meal contribution per day (Meal Allowance).

Minimum duration (3 hours): If an employee works less than 3 hours (for example, they take part of the day as absence), the entitlement to the meal allowance for that day is forfeited.

  • Meal allowance up to the limit - tax-exempt (the amount is updated every year)

  • Meal allowance above the limit - the amount above the limit is included in the base for calculating health insurance, social security contributions, and tax.
