How can you use employee benefits? We will tell you!

Benefit points are increasingly popular bonus to an employee's salary, so they are slowly but surely replacing previously more common benefits such as the “13th salary” or extra sick days. Do you also receive employee benefits and don‘t know how to apply them? Not only that, we will advise you and help you how to use the benefit points effectively. We can teach you to perceive the benefit points as real money, which will bring you a lot of experiences.

The main point is about benefit points of companies such as Sodexo, Edenred, Benefit plus, Benefity.cz and others. The most common application of these employee benefits is the purchase in a pharmacy, but they also have more attractive ways of use. You can find an inexhaustible number of not only leisure activities in the “Cafeteria”, that you can imagine as such an online store with experiences that can be used to pay benefits. There are most often offers from the area of sports, health, culture and recreation, but you can also buy, for example, printed products and books.

The great advantage of benefit points is the fact that you don’t have to draw them only, so they are “portable” and you can pay for entry to the aquapark, for example, for whole family or buy something to another family member at a pharmacy. But they after all have a limitation so be careful. The state sets a limit of 20,000 czech crowns, which cannot be exceeded in the area of recreation in 1 calendar year. In case, if more family members receive benefits, then you can use them for one holiday and you can safely exceed the mentioned limit.

Recreation is an unexplored option for drawing points for many benefit owners so far. The network of accommodation, where it is possible to pay by benefits, is constantly expanding, so almost everyone can find accommodation not only in the Czech Republic.

But if you have looked for accommodation that does not accept benefit points, don’t despair. We still have solution for you. Book your dream stay and have the advance invoice reimbursed here on ehotel.cz, or enjoy a holiday from Booking.com anywhere in the world for the benefits. We will advise you how to do it - you can find out more here: ehotel.cz. Treat yourself to the holiday you have always wanted. And guess what? By benefit points!

In the end, we will advise you which mistakes you should avoid when using the benefits.

Pay attention to the due date!

- All benefits have an expiration date. Several users do not look after this date and thus often deprive themselves of large sums with which they could pay for the things they normally pay with their money.

Use it as efficiently as possible

- The possibilities of using the benefits are constantly multiplying, so always before buying any product or service, first find out whether the provider doesn’t accept your benefits by chance and apply them in the best possible way. So many users are often surprised by what you can buy for benefits.

To the last crown

- If you are going to pay a larger amount by benefits, think about whether you will have few benefits that you would hardly use anywhere else. Each payment can be divided in part into a benefit payment and a cash payment. The balance won’t be too small and with the next purchase you will manage to use up the limit to the last Czech crown and you will use the benefit points smartly and economically.

We wish you a lot of experiences with benefits not only this summer.
