The Epassi card – a smoother lunch benefit.
Give your employees a perk they truly use – every day. We help you get started in no time!
What is a lunch benefit?
A lunch benefit means the employer subsidizes part of the employees’ lunch expenses – a simple and appreciated perk that boosts both wellbeing and employer branding. You decide how much to subsidize, and the cards are loaded monthly. The administration is easy: you upload an employee file and receive a payroll file compatible with all payroll systems.
What does the lunch benefit cost?
The cost depends entirely on how much the employer chooses to subsidize.
For example: if the card is loaded with SEK 2,205 per month and the employer subsidizes SEK 1,400, the employee pays the remaining SEK 805. The employer’s total cost is then SEK 1,400 plus social fees – which is about 10% cheaper than giving the same amount as salary. Additionally, the subsidy is not included in vacation pay calculations and, according to most collective agreements, often not in pension calculations.
The Epassi card makes it easy for everyone to enjoy affordable lunches:
“It’s an amazing employee benefit! I really like the simple app where you can check your balance, PIN code, and more.”
"It's so flexible. And works outside of Sweden. Wonderful for those of us that travel a lot overseas!"
“A card that reminds you to go out with colleagues for lunch, even if you work shifts and don’t usually eat out.”
It's easy to get started with the Epassi lunch card!
1. Upload employee file.
The employee file includes all staff who will receive the lunch benefit. Based on this, we create a payroll file compatible with all payroll systems. You also set the loading amount and subsidy. The balance never expires for the employee and can be used down to the last krona.
2. Pay the invoice.
To ensure the balance is loaded onto the cards on the scheduled loading date, the invoice must be paid at least 5 days before that date. No fees are charged to users for transactions made anywhere within the EU. *Transactions made in a currency other than SEK incur a 2.95% surcharge.
3. Cards are topped up.
Once the invoice is paid, the cards are automatically topped up on the selected date, so your employees can continue enjoying great lunches. The Epassi card works like a regular payment card and can be used at any food vendor that accepts VISA, both in Sweden and abroad.
