Issue of Reka money 

 



Motivated employees deliver more!


Reka payment instruments issued by the Reka Swiss Travel Fund are popular with both employers and employees. Some two million people use Reka money to pay for tourism-related services. Today over 3,500 employers offer their employees Reka money – and the numbers are rising.


There are good reasons for this:
  • Reka payment instruments can be purchased with an initial discount of 1.5%. Sample calculation
  • Depending on the employee’s social situation an additional amount can be made available for children.
  • Reka money is a dedicated payment instrument (Link Paying with Reka money) for leisure and holidays and therefore contributes to employees’ well-being.
  • Thanks to Reka money, employees can enjoy more affordable holidays and leisure activities.
  • Reka money helps the holiday budget by generating savings in advance. Additional money for holiday purposes tops the wish list of employees.



New salary statement and Reka payment instruments
 

 

The new salary statement applies as from the 2007 tax period. In the instructions for completing the new salary statement, Section III Benefits exempt from declaration states:  Reka-Check benefits up to CHF 600 per year (only need to be declared if the benefits exceed CHF 600 per year).

Seven of the ten biggest employers in Switzerland offer their employees Reka payment instruments totalling on average between CHF 1,000  and CHF 1,500 with a discount of  20%.

Also exempt from declaration are the usual Christmas, birthday and similar gifts up to CHF 500 per event. Reka-Checks are classed as vouchers and can be issued for such events as gifts. Up to CHF 500 per event is exempt from declaration.


  Social value instead of shareholder value

By issuing Reka money, you're not only making a valuable contribution to the well-being of your employees but are also contributing indirectly to the socially disadvantaged by enabling them to go on holiday. Since its inception, Reka's goal has been to help these people so they too can enjoy  holidays. Income earned by Reka from its commercial activity goes to help social holiday initiatives such as free holidays and discount holidays (last year some CHF 2 million were used for this purpose). Thanks to healthy growth and innovation, Reka is able to sustain its social commitment over the long term.
