Gift voucher or gift card: which solution should you choose?

Countless benefits

Give your employees free rein with tax-exempt social benefits. Gift vouchers and company cards offer different qualities, but both boost your teams' salary package by giving them employee benefits throughout the year.

Back to school, Christmas for children and adults, a birth, a wedding, Mother's or Father's Day, retirement… There are many occasions to give your employees gift vouchers, shopping vouchers or gifts in kind.

Simplify your employees' business expenses while optimising productivity. Discover how the benefits card differs from the gift voucher for smoother management of your employee benefits.

Gift vouchers: what's in it for employees?

How much should you allocate to gift vouchers and cards?

Want to energise how you manage benefits in kind? Whether with gift vouchers or PCS Incentive business gift cards, reinvent the way you reward your employees.

Instead of providing company housing, allocate a monthly amount as a contribution to housing costs when your employees work from home. Easily distribute allowances for meals, transport and even childcare costs.

When the total amount of vouchers and gifts given to an employee in a calendar year does not exceed 5% of the monthly social security ceiling (i.e. €183 in 2023), this amount may be exempt from social security contributions.

Your occasions to give gift cards

• Motivate your employees by giving them a rechargeable gift card they can use wherever they like, topped up by transfer via a simplified platform.
• Congratulate your employees with a modern, dynamic programme to reward their productivity.
• Personalise the experience with customisable cards and the Manager area: create cards, distribute allowances and track your card portfolio in real time.

E-gift vouchers and shopping vouchers

Why not switch to the modern, digital version of the gift voucher? No more printing paper vouchers or waiting for your employees to be present to hand them out. With its 100% digital format, the e-gift voucher is as secure as the gift card: you reduce the risk of theft and loss.

For shopping vouchers, their use must be specified. As the Urssaf points out, the voucher must state the type of goods it can be used for, one or more department store sections or the name of one or more shops. For example, a voucher given for children's Christmas must give access to goods related to that event (toys, clothes, leisure or sports equipment…).

Paper, digital or physical: choose the format that suits you best for your employee rewards!
