Discover the benefits we can give you as an accountant.
As an employer of the joint committee (JC) 226 (non-manual workers in international trade, haulage and logistics), you grant eco vouchers to your employees every year in the beginning of December. But maybe you prefer to reward your employees with a different benefit? This is possible within the JC 226!
Employees with a full reference period will be entitled to eco vouchers worth EUR 250.
However, employees not having worked a full reference period will be entitled to a different amount.
More details and a comprehensive analysis can be found in our sector information on our website (sector document JC 226 - eco vouchers for more details).
This joint committee lays down that the eco vouchers on a company level can be converted, provided that the total cost (including any expenses specific to the chosen benefit) does not exceed 250 EUR per employee and per calendar year.
In principle, different alternatives for the eco vouchers are possible, including:
In companies having an appropriate consultative body, the conversion will be laid down in a written company agreement provided that the following terms and conditions are met:
When there is no appropriate consultative body in your company, the agreements will be submitted for approval to the Joint Committee’s General Affairs Working Group.
The agreements must then be registered, before 31 October of the previous calendar year, with the President of the JC for non-manual workers in international trade, haulage and logistics (FPS Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue, Rue Ernest Blérot 1, 1070 Brussels).
For guidance and advice on the conversion of eco vouchers, contact our Legal Partners, any time (Legalpartners@partena.be or call 02/549.30.20).
