Optimize your employees’ compensation resulting in a stronger position in the labor market? And at the same time saving costs as an employer? An attractive remuneration package consists of more than just the gross salary. Our experts will develop a competitive and attractive remuneration policy, together with you.
How can we support you?
We analyze your current remuneration package and advise you on social and tax friendly forms of remuneration. Afterwards, we guide you in the implementation. Our services include:
Alternative forms of remuneration: what are fringe benefits?
Fringe benefits are forms of remuneration on top of the gross salary. They are often exempt from social contributions and/or taxes for the employee and tax deductible for the employer. This makes them fiscally attractive for both employer and employees.
Some examples:
- Mobility: public transportation subscriptions, company cars, company bicycles, mobility budget
- Insurance: group insurance, hospitalization insurance, outpatient care insurance
- Additional allowances: work from home allowances
- Checks/cards: meal vouchers, eco vouchers, gift vouchers, sports and culture vouchers
Together, we work out a customized approach.
