The maximum value of a meal voucher is 10 euros per working day. It is possible to order meal vouchers with a lower face value.

The value of the meal voucher always consists of an employer contribution and an employee contribution.

• The employer contribution is a maximum of 8.91 euros.
• The employee contribution is at least 1.09 euro.

Anyone whose employment contract mentions the granting of meal vouchers is entitled to them. This also applies to certain categories of workers, such as:

• Student jobs
• Paid interns under an employment contract
• Teleworkers
• Employees with a special status

Volunteers who, by definition, are not paid and not bound by an employment contract, are not entitled to this employee benefit.

In principle, meal vouchers are not mandatory, except within certain industry sectors. The value and conditions associated with meal vouchers are chosen by the employer. The conditions are set in a sectoral or company collective agreement or in an individual employment contract.

Feel free to contact us to find out if granting this employee benefit is an obligation under your sector agreement.

You can order Monizze meal vouchers in two ways:

1. Through your payroll provider: simply ask your payroll provider to order meal vouchers from Monizze. Contact your payroll provider for more information.
2. Via your Monizze client area: you can order your meal vouchers yourself via your client area.

Retroactive granting of meal vouchers is not recommended and is only possible in case of correction. If too many or too few meal vouchers were granted, this can be corrected the following month.

Belgian legislation on meal vouchers stipulates that workers in the same category, i.e. with the same work regime, must receive meal vouchers of the same face value. This is to prevent arbitrary discrimination.

An employer who wishes to grant meal vouchers of a different face value to different categories of workers must do so objectively. Under this rule, the agreement establishing this employee benefit may provide for different amounts depending on the employee's status (full-time or part-time).

Note: if the objectivity of the distinction is doubtful, it is advisable to seek advice from the NSSO (National Social Security Office).

Meal vouchers are generally granted based on the number of working days or hours worked. Logically, a part-time worker will therefore receive fewer vouchers than a full-time worker.

Since 1 January 2007, self-employed business owners can grant themselves meal vouchers under certain conditions:

• The number of meal vouchers granted must correspond to the number of days the self-employed business owner actually worked. The number of contribution days cannot exceed the maximum number of working days of a full-time employee in the company concerned.
• A self-employed business owner who employs staff can only grant themselves meal vouchers if their employees also benefit from them. The meal vouchers granted to the self-employed manager cannot have a higher value than those of their employees.

Note: self-employed individuals who carry out their activity as a natural person and not within a company are not entitled to meal vouchers.

Meal vouchers can only be used to purchase food products.

Monizze meal vouchers are accepted in a wide network of shops and (local) restaurants. Your employees can also use their meal vouchers online to shop at affiliated e-shops.

Eco-vouchers are an employee benefit. They allow employers to motivate their employees by offering them additional purchasing power. The eco-voucher is 100% exempt from social security contributions. It also encourages the employee's ecological awareness.

You can become a Monizze customer by requesting your free quote here.

This is not recommended, but eco-vouchers can be granted retroactively if it concerns a correction.

Neither collective labour agreement No. 98 nor the royal decree on granting eco-vouchers mention specific rules for part-time workers. The employer can therefore choose. They can opt for a system proportional to work performance, or for an identical amount for all workers, regardless of their status.

Since 1 January 2007, self-employed business owners can grant themselves eco-vouchers under certain conditions:

• A self-employed business owner who employs staff can only grant themselves eco-vouchers if their employees also benefit from them.
• The eco-vouchers granted to the self-employed manager cannot have a higher value than those of their full-time employees.

Note: self-employed individuals who carry out their activity as a natural person and not within a company are not entitled to eco-vouchers.

For more information, visit this page.

You can order Monizze eco-vouchers in two ways:

1. Through your payroll provider: simply ask your payroll provider to order eco-vouchers from Monizze. Contact your payroll provider for more information.
2. Via your Monizze client area: you can order your eco-vouchers yourself via your client area.

Everyone in the private sector is entitled to eco-vouchers. The eco-voucher system was established by a collective agreement within the National Labour Council. It only concerns employers and employees covered by the law of 5 December 1968 on collective agreements and joint committees.

Various categories of personnel are therefore not eligible for this employee benefit, namely all employees:

• who work in the public sector and autonomous public companies;
• who are subsidised by the State and active in subsidised institutions of independent education;
• who were recruited under a Local Employment Agency employment contract;
• who are active in vocational training centres applying legislation on employment or vocational training for jobseekers.

The granting of eco-vouchers and the associated conditions are determined by the employer. The conditions are set in a collective or individual employment agreement.

Feel free to contact us to find out if granting this employee benefit is an obligation under your sector agreement.

The maximum value of eco-vouchers is 250 euros per year. The amount granted depends on the number of working days performed. For more information on the calculation, it is advisable to contact your payroll provider.

Eco-vouchers can only be used for the purchase of ecological products or services. The National Labour Council (CNT) establishes the list of products and services that can be purchased with eco-vouchers.

Monizze eco-vouchers are accepted in a wide network of major chains and local shops. Eco-vouchers can also be used online for purchases on the e-shops of affiliated merchants.

A self-employed business owner can grant themselves gift vouchers. As a self-employed business owner, you must comply with the legal maximum amounts when ordering gift vouchers.

For more information, visit this page.

Monizze gift vouchers can be ordered through your client area.

The benefit is subject to the principle of equality within the company. Under no circumstances may it be used as a means of pressure or sanction. The following persons may be entitled to these vouchers:

• Employees, regardless of their hierarchical position, seniority and skill level.
• Business owners, like employees, as long as they have entered into an employment contract.
• Interns who, as required by law, must have access to the same social and cultural activities as employees.
• Clients, as a thank-you gesture, provided it is done in the company's interest and within the legal VAT limit. Vouchers worth less than 125 euros are 100% deductible and tax-free for the beneficiary. For higher amounts, vouchers are 50% deductible and the beneficiary must pay taxes on them.

A gift voucher is a gift in its own right and therefore cannot be made mandatory by any agreement. The gift voucher is granted entirely at the employer's initiative. It cannot be formalised in an employment contract or collective agreement.

However, an employer who decides to offer gift vouchers to employees is subject to two specific obligations:

1. Non-discrimination principle

The benefit must be granted to all employees of the company, without distinction of:

• their age
• their gender
• their religious beliefs
• their membership of a political party or trade union

In the event of a violation of this non-discrimination principle, the company may be sanctioned by law.

2. Compliance with the legal threshold

To benefit from the social and tax exemption, the amount of the benefit allocated in the form of gift vouchers must not exceed the maximum amounts set according to the occasion:

• Saint Nicholas, Christmas and New Year: 40 euros per employee + 40 euros per dependent child
• Honorary distinction: 120 euros
• Retirement: 40 euros per year of service, with a minimum of 120 euros and a maximum of 1,000 euros
• Marriage or declaration of legal cohabitation: 245 euros
• Seniority bonus after 25 years of service: equal to one month's gross salary
• Seniority bonus after 35 years of service: equal to two months' gross salary
• Special occasions: 50 euros maximum

Monizze gift vouchers allow you to reward your employees on special occasions. If gift vouchers meet certain conditions, they are considered an employee benefit (and are therefore not considered as salary). The value of the Monizze gift voucher is tax-exempt for both the employer and the employee, and is generally tax-deductible for the employer.

Sport & culture vouchers, also known as "Activ'", are offered through an online booking platform for sports and cultural activities. With this modern tool, companies encourage their employees to participate in sports and cultural activities.

This employee benefit allows beneficiaries to increase their net purchasing power and enjoy attractive offers for annual subscriptions and a wide range of activities.

Sport and culture vouchers are valid for 15 months from the date of receipt and, once expired, can be reactivated once for 3 months.

You can become a Monizze customer by requesting your free quote here.

The granting of sport and culture vouchers in Belgium must be provided for by a collective or individual employment agreement. Such an agreement results from an employer's decision. There is therefore no obligation to grant them.

To avoid being considered as salary, sport and culture vouchers must meet 6 conditions:

• granted on the basis of a collective or individual employment agreement;
• maximum of €100 per year;
• no cash reimbursement;
• issued in the name of the employee or company director;
• validity period of 15 months from the date of receipt;
• redeemable only at approved organisations.

The maximum value of Sport & culture vouchers is €100 per year.

The mobility budget is a tool that allows employers to offer employees access to flexible and sustainable mobility at no additional cost to the employer. The amount of this mobility budget is based on the "total cost of ownership" (TCO), i.e. the total cost associated with owning a company car, but this amount is capped at a minimum of €3,164 and a maximum of €16,875 per year, in addition to a cap of 20% of the gross annual salary.

The mobility budget can be used across three pillars, each with a distinct tax and social security treatment:

Pillar 1: the mobility budget can be used to finance an environmentally friendly company car. From 2026 onwards, this car must be a zero-emission vehicle.

Tax treatment: the company car in the first pillar is treated in the same way as a traditional company car from a tax and social security perspective.

Pillar 2: the mobility budget can be used for environmentally friendly modes of transport, for both private and professional travel. For example, company bicycles, public transport, carpooling, car rental for a maximum of 30 days per year, electric scooters, but also for reimbursement of rent or mortgage payments (including interest) if the employee lives within a 10 km radius of their usual workplace. If a person works from home for most of a given month, the home is considered the usual workplace for that month.

Tax treatment: second pillar benefits are fully exempt from social security contributions. Their costs are fully deductible from corporate tax.

Pillar 3: the remaining balance of the mobility budget (if any) is paid out once a year after deduction of a special social security contribution of 38.07%, but it is exempt from income tax.

Tax treatment: the paid-out balance is fully deductible from corporate tax.

Naturally, you pay nothing when you become a Monizze partner.

In addition, you save on indirect costs and attract new customers. Contact our team for more information at partner@monizze.be.

The purchasing power bonus is a unique benefit allowing employers to grant an additional amount to their employees in the form of consumption vouchers. It is exempt from social security contributions and tax under certain conditions.

The maximum amount for the purchasing power bonus is 750 euros per employee. This amount is exempt from ordinary social security contributions, but a special contribution of 16.5% is due from the employer.

The purchasing power bonus has a validity period of 1 year from the date it is loaded onto the Monizze card.

The law stipulates that the last employer who ordered vouchers must also provide the card, so that the beneficiary can use the vouchers until they expire.

When an employee leaves your company, we recommend updating this in your client area, via the "users-bold" tab. In the relevant employee's profile, click the "end collaboration" button and confirm.

The employee's Monizze card is not blocked when the contract ends. The employee can continue using their Monizze card and vouchers.

Important: do not block the employee's Monizze card, as they will no longer be able to use their vouchers.

When an employee's Monizze card is approaching its expiry date, you will be notified by email.

If the employee is still employed, has an available balance on their Monizze card and the card has been loaded, the Monizze card will be renewed automatically. New Monizze cards are always sent well before the expiry date.

Employees can activate their Monizze card in two ways. Along with their Monizze card, they receive a letter containing the activation instructions:

1. By SMS: the employee sends the code printed on the letter to the number 8844.
2. Via MyMonizze: the employee can activate their Monizze card online via this link.

The employee is unable to activate their Monizze card using either of these methods? Then activate the card via your client area. Go to the "users-bold" tab, select the relevant employee and activate the card via "Cards".

Please allow approximately 10 working days for the production and delivery of a new Monizze card. Through your client area, you can easily check the production and shipping dates of your employees' Monizze cards.

To do so, go to the "users-bold" tab and click on "Card creation". Has the shipping date long passed but you still haven't received the card? If so, please contact us. Please note that postal processing may take several working days.

If your employee's card no longer works, the Monizze card must be sent to the following address: Rue de l'Hôpital 31, 1000 Brussels. The Monizze card will then be tested and, if necessary, a new card will be sent.

If one of your employees' Monizze card is lost or stolen, block the card via your client area.

In the "users-bold" tab, select the relevant person, click on "Cards" and "Block card" and confirm. A new card will be ordered automatically and delivered within approximately 10 working days.

Your employee can also block their own Monizze card via MyMonizze, our mobile app or by phone.

Has your company just hired a new employee? There are two possible situations:

1. Your new employee already has an active Monizze card

To do this, go to your client area, under the "users-bold" tab, and click the "Add an employee" button. Once you have entered the employee's details, our system will automatically link the employee's active card to your company account.

Monizze currently offers two options: receiving this one-time code by SMS or via an authentication app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.).
You can activate them in your account, in the "Security" section.

Any app compatible with the "TOTP" system (Time-based One-Time Password), such as:

• Google Authenticator (iOS, Android)

To accept Monizze in your business, you pay no activation or subscription fees. You only pay an amount per transaction:

• Meal voucher: 1.5% of the amount (min. €0.10 and max. €0.82)
• Eco-voucher: 2.75% of the amount
• Gift voucher: 2.75% of the amount
• Sport & culture vouchers: transaction fees depend on the activity

Upon receipt of your request, Monizze takes care of the entire follow-up. We will contact your terminal provider to configure Monizze on your payment terminal. This always takes place within 10 business days, remotely and without any intervention required on your part.

The Monizze card is accepted by almost all existing payment terminals. The terminal must be C-TAP compatible. You can verify this compatibility with your terminal provider.

Questions? Don't hesitate to contact us.

The terminal ID, also called terminal identification number or TID, is a series of eight digits.

Below is an overview of the possible first digits of terminals for the different providers:

• Axepta: 62..., 65..., 117..., 119... or 125...

To do so, follow the instructions via this link.

Note: do you only want to add an additional terminal to an existing point of sale? Then refer to the question "How do I add additional terminals or remove a terminal?"

If you wish to add or remove a terminal, please send an email to shop@monizze.be with the following information:

• Your VAT number and/or your affiliation number
• The new terminal identifier (TID - it consists of 8 characters)

Note: is the terminal located at a different address? If so, refer to the question "How do I add an additional point of sale?"

The transaction fees you pay as a merchant are deducted immediately at the time of the transaction. You will then receive payment within two business days.

On the monthly invoice you receive, you will find information regarding payments and transaction fees.

As for your connection to the Activ' platform, your invoice, which will have been sent to our technical partner Hexeko, will be paid within 15 days following the customer's payment.

You do not need to pay the invoices you receive from Monizze as a merchant. As a merchant, you pay no activation or subscription fees with Monizze. You only pay transaction fees, which are directly deducted when a payment is made with Monizze. Each month, you will receive an invoice listing all transactions and the applied transaction fees.

At the beginning of each month, you will receive an invoice listing the transactions made the previous month via your payment terminal(s), the transaction fees paid, and the amounts paid to you.

Did you not receive an invoice? This means no transactions were made via Monizze the previous month.

You will not receive an invoice for your connection to the Activ' platform. Regarding Activ', we ask you to send an invoice at the end of the month to our technical partner Hexeko (info@hexeko.com) with all reservations at the base rate and deduct the commission.

If you accept payments via Monizze in your business, you agree to be part of our various marketing campaigns. This allows us to reference your business as a member of our acceptance network on our website, our app and in all our other communication campaigns. These campaigns have the advantage of generating additional visibility and brand awareness for your establishment among our customers.

Can't find the promotional material that was sent after your registration, or would you like more stickers? You can request promotional material for free by contacting us.

After the activation of your payment terminal, we will send you our promotional material by post. You will receive stickers to place on your shop window, your payment terminal or near your cash register. This way, Monizze users will recognise you as one of our affiliated merchants.

We also include your business on our online search engine and our mobile app (available on iOS and Android).

Regarding Activ', you appear immediately on the Activ' platform after your registration.

If you take over a business where Monizze is already accepted, you will still need to submit an affiliation request. Submitting a new request ensures that all data is updated in our system (payment information, contact details...).

You can register via this link.

If you cease your activities and no longer accept Monizze on your terminal or online store, please inform Monizze as soon as possible by email at shop@monizze.be.
