Question 1

I have expired vouchers, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If you have expired vouchers, please contact the employer who granted you these vouchers (most of the time the Human Ressources department). Please note that we cannot deal directly with consumers on this topic.

Question 2

Gift Pass: standard or specific values?

Accepted Answer

All denominations are possible, between €10 and €125, and a single envelope may contain Gift Pass of different values. So you can compose your envelope depending on your budget and the event. Nonetheless, we advise you to choose small denominations, which are more easily negotiable at merchant outlets. For example: 5 cheques of €25, rather than one of €125! In this way the beneficiary can use its Gift vouchers in several shops and have more flexibility of use.

Question 3

What is the maximum face value of Lunch Pass?

Accepted Answer

The maximum amount deductible is €10.80. This amount was set by the Grand Ducal Regulation of 23 December 2016. This follows the limit of 1989 (LFr270), increased in 1996 (LFr330) and rounded up in 2002 (€8.18 => €8.40). Sodexo can print Lunch Pass with higher values, but in such case the difference is taxable as salary!

Question 4

How many lunch vouchers may be allocated to a part-time employee?

Accepted Answer

An employee may legally be entitled to one Lunch Pass per day of work if he or she has worked for at least four hours during the day. In many companies the allocation of lunch vouchers is in proportion to the number of hours worked as a percentage of full-time. This decision remains at the sole discretion of the employer.

Question 5

Which types of company can benefit from lunch vouchers?

Accepted Answer

All businesses with one employee or more can benefit from them irrespective of their size or business sector. All your company’s personnel can have access to lunch vouchers. It’s a motivation solution that’s effective from the first employee and that pleases everyone, at every level of the business.

Question 6

As an employer, how do I deduct the lunch vouchers in my accounting?

Accepted Answer

The Lunch Pass is fully tax-deductible as operating expense. What’s more, it’s exempt from any social charges. It’s also an ideal form of complementary remuneration and a motivational tool.
