Meal Allowance
What is a Meal Allowance?
A meal allowance helps subsidise the cost of food during working hours, whether through cafeteria discounts, meal vouchers, or reimbursements for meals purchased while working. Some employers extend this benefit to remote workers by offering food delivery credits or prepaid meal cards, ensuring all employees have access to nutritious dining options regardless of their work location.
Benefits to Employer
A meal allowance can encourage on-site attendance by incentivising staff to attend the office. Combining a meal allowance with meal spaces can foster cross-departmental socialisation.
Benefits to Employee
Covering meal costs during work hours reduces daily expenses while promoting healthier eating through subsidised cafeterias or vouchers. Employees save time and energy by avoiding meal prep, dedicating breaks to relaxation or informal team interactions.
