When it comes to designing an employee compensation plan, many companies face a difficult decision.Should we opt for company-funded social benefits or allow employees to manage part of their pay through flexible remuneration?<\/em> Each option has its advantages, but it is not always easy to determine which best suits the needs of the team and the objectives of the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself in this situation, on <\/strong>mixed model<\/strong><\/a> can be the ideal solution<\/strong>. This strategy combines the best of both worlds, allowing the company to subsidise certain essential benefits while offering employees the possibility to supplement their compensation with tax advantages. This creates a more equitable, flexible and attractive system that benefits all parties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mixed Benefit Model: What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The mixed model is a comprehensive compensation scheme that combines two essential elements: the <\/strong>social benefits<\/strong><\/a> in subsidy and the <\/strong>flexible compensation<\/strong><\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is based on a flexible approach that allows employees to tailor their compensation package according to their personal needs, while the company can strengthen its value proposition and enhance its attractiveness in the labour market by also offering extra-salary compensation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does the mixed model work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As already mentioned, the mixed model works by combining rflexible remuneration and social benefits<\/a> in subsidy to optimise employee compensation. With flexible remuneration workers spend part of their gross wages on products and services <\/strong>(with all foreseen limits). These amounts are exempt from personal income tax.<\/a>, This increases the purchasing power of the employee without generating an additional cost for the company. These services can be managed by the company through platforms such as Edenred Flex<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, subsidised social benefits are benefits that are fully financed by the company over and above the basic salary.<\/strong>. These benefits can include services such as meal tickets, transport tickets, childcare and more. What differentiates it from flexible pay is that the company bears the full cost of the service, whereas flexible pay is within the basic salary and therefore the costs are borne by the employees.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, with the mixed model, the company gives its employees the possibility to use part of their salary for flexible remuneration on the services of their choice. In addition, it adds an extra amount to their salary so that employees can spend it on the same or different services.\u00a0
