As a result, employers will be more willing to use meal subsidies as a form of employee benefit. As calculated by experts, the annual savings resulting from this change of company and employee due to the exemption from contributions amount to 1426.51 PLN. All this means that subsidizing PLN 300 for employee meals may be a hit this year among employee benefits.
