Job benefits

The employer provides a meal allowance in the form of meal vouchers, subsidized lunches in the canteens of Charles University or the so-called flat meal allowance. Every employee can choose the type of allowance.

The employee reports his/her decision on whether s/he wants to use a flat meal allowance or meal vouchers (subsidized lunches do not need to be reported) by sending e-mail from his/her faculty e-mail address to the Personnel Office. S/he may change his/her decision no more than once a year as to the month of May of the respective calendar year (again by e-mail from his/her faculty e-mail address to the Personnel Office) and the deadline for reporting such a change is set for April 15 of the given calendar year.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE

The employees under labor relations with FSV UK with their workload amounting to no less than 0.5 (i.e. 20 hours a week). The employee is entitled to the allowance from the first day of his/her employment, for each day worked. The day worked is the day when the employee puts in at least 4 hours of continuous work.

HOW IT WORKS

The allowance is provided for meal vouchers or subsidized lunches in the canteens of Charles University.

The meal vouchers are provided to the employees in the form of “e-vouchers,” the total value of which is recharged to the so-called “voucher card” for the respective month worked, not later than on the thirteenth day of the following month. New employees who do not have a “voucher card” yet can collect it no earlier than on the 25th day after the first calendar month worked at the earliest, in the Cash Office in Hollar building at Mrs Martina Malcová (tel.no. 222 112 217).

It is not required to apply for this allowance individually. After you assume your employment and upon signing your contract of employment, you will also receive from the Personnel Office an agreement on salary deductions for meal vouchers. Based on this signed agreement, the staff in the Personnel Office will enter your entitlement to receiving the meal vouchers into the internal system.

The employees can go for subsidized lunches to the canteens of their choice. Prior to the first lunch, it is necessary to have the employee’s card recharged at the Cash Office of the canteen to an amount determined by an employee. The amount can be paid in cash and non-cash and the minimum deposit is 200 CZK.

You can find more information about your visit to the canteen here.

A flat meal allowance is the amount that the employee receives directly in his/her salary payment. This amount is tax-exempt. The total amount of the employer’s contribution remains the same as when drawing meal vouchers. The advantage of the flat meal allowance is that one is not limited by the place where they accept the meal voucher.

HOW MUCH IT COSTS

Currently, employees are provided with meal vouchers in the value of 140 CZK per each day worked. 55% of the value of the meal voucher is paid by the employer (77CZK/meal voucher) and 45% is paid by the employee in the form of a salary deduction (63 CZK/meal voucher).

In case of the subsidized lunches in the canteen, the employer contributes with 55% of the food price.

The flat meal allowance is cost-free for the employee. It is paid directly into the employee’s salary. From 1th October, 2022, it is 77 CZK for each day worked (under the conditions stated in the previous text).

For more information on meal allowances, see Dean’s Measure no. 21/2022.
