Due to the size of this order, we received enormous support from Edenred personnel, including, in particular, assistance with the preparation of letters to the employees and with refining the acceptance scope of the children’s gift card to stores with children’s goods. Edenred has meticulously prepared the entire list of merchants. Mostostal Warszawa S.A. has found this cooperation to be very successful.

The cards we ordered are versatile, and we particularly appreciate the fact that they can be topped up with various amounts and at any time.

OPTOPOL

We are satisfied with the introduction of gift cards. It is a very convenient form of rewarding the employees. The employees appreciate gift cards primarily because they let them choose their final gift. The cards, however, also have other benefits. A card topped up with PLN 100 by the employer may actually be worth as much as over PLN 130 because it entitles to various discounts when it is used, even up to 30%, depending on the place where the payment is made. Also, everyone likes to feel special. The employee will be more likely to remember receiving the card from the employer than an ordinary transfer of cash to the account. We recommend this solution to other companies.

b)    Holiday benefits

  • Holiday benefits are not paid for by the social fund, which means that the entitlement to the holiday benefit and its amount do not depend on social criteria, i.e. life, family or material circumstances, but only on the duration of the holidays.
  • The amount of the holiday benefit cannot exceed the amount of the deduction from pay for the Employee Benefit Fund, and it should be paid to each employee once per year before the commencement of holiday leave of at least 14 days (Article 3(4–6) of the Employee Benefit Fund Act of 4 March 1994).
  • Holiday benefits paid pursuant to the Employee Benefit Fund Act shall not be regarded as the assessment basis for social insurance contributions – up to the amount of the deduction from pay per year. This means that if the holiday benefit is higher than the deduction from pay, the obligation to charge the contributions will only concern the excess amount paid over the amount of the deduction.
  • The holiday benefit received by the employee is revenue from employment that is taxed with the personal income tax pursuant to Article 12(1) of the Personal Income Tax Act.
Does the holiday card have to be funded by the Employee Benefit Fund?

The holiday card may be funded both by the Employee Benefit Fund and current assets of the company.

Can the holiday card only be used to pay in Poland?

No, the holiday card can be used internationally, online and using the Apple Pay and Google Pay applications.
