Social Benefits VS Flexible Remuneration

The difference between a Social Benefit and the Flexible Remuneration is in who bears the cost and how it is managed. A Social Benefit is support that the company offers to individuals directly, covering the full cost of services such as transport, childcare or food, without affecting wages. On the other hand, with the Flexible Compensation, In the case of the "tax-free" option, it is the individual who decides to allocate a portion of his gross salary to cover these same services, which allows him to save on taxes, stretch his salary and optimise his net annual salary. Both options aim to improve the quality of life, but work in different ways. Do you want a mix of the two? Then the Hybrid model is for you.
