Who is eligible for meal vouchers?

🙋 Who can benefit from meal vouchers?

The beneficiaries of meal vouchers are:

• Employees (permanent, temporary, full-time, part-time)
• Employees on apprenticeship or professionalisation contracts (trainees, apprentices...)
• Temporary workers
• Interns

🧐 What about company directors?

For directors, the allocation of meal vouchers is possible provided they are considered equivalent to employees and the allocation conditions comply with current regulations. 🚨 It is recommended to seek advice from a specialist to assess each case according to personal and professional circumstances to avoid any URSSAF adjustments.

🧐 What about employees working from home?

Employees working from home are also entitled to meal vouchers under the same conditions as those applied to employees physically present at the employer's premises.

⚖️ Can an employer exclude certain employees from receiving meal vouchers?

The employer must adhere to the principle of equal treatment in granting meal vouchers: all employees are entitled to them under the same conditions, regardless of the nature of their employment contract (permanent, temporary, casual, etc.). However, they may decide to grant certain benefits to a category of employees if not all employees are in the same situation. In such cases, this must be justified by objective and relevant criteria.

🕰️ Can working hours determine the allocation of meal vouchers?

An employee's working hours can determine the allocation of meal vouchers. The employee must have a meal break to be eligible for a meal voucher.
