Your network's employee voucher
A benefit for your employees that is spent in your network. You set the amount and choose between one-time and recurring. It is redeemed at local merchants, restaurants, and service providers - which strengthens the place where your employees live and work.
What employers are looking for - and what the voucher changes
Your situation
- We are looking for a benefit payment that our employees actually use.
- Buying and handing out vouchers takes up our time month after month.
- The money should be spent at businesses near us.
With your network's voucher
- The voucher carries your network's name. The balance is redeemed at participating businesses.
- You manage employees and benefit payments yourself in the Company Portal.
A benefit that stays in the network
The employee voucher is more than a benefit payment. It works where your business is located.
- 1
Benefit for employees
You give your employees a benefit payment on the network's voucher - one-time or recurring.
- 2
Spent locally
It can only be redeemed at the network's participating businesses, not at national providers.
- 3
Location and merchants
The money stays with local merchants, restaurants, and service providers. This strengthens the businesses in your neighborhood and with them your location.
- 4
Predictable volume
Recurring benefit payments regularly bring credit into the network's voucher - not just before the holidays. Your network can count on that.
Add employees, set the benefit payment
In the Company Portal, you add employees one by one or import them. For each employee, you assign a one-time or a recurring benefit payment. You decide the amount. You receive a consolidated invoice for your benefit payments.
Spent in the network.
Your employees receive the network's voucher. It runs on the same card as the city voucher. They use it to pay at merchants, restaurants, and service providers that accept the voucher. A voucher does not have to be spent all at once; the rest stays on the card as a balance.

Questions and answers
What does the employee voucher cost us?
Your network decides. It sets what employers pay. Your network can tell you the amount.
How much effort is it for us?
At the start, you add or import employees and set the benefit payment. You receive a consolidated invoice for your benefit payments. You make changes in the Company Portal.
Where do our employees redeem the voucher?
At the businesses that accept your network's voucher. Your network can tell you which ones they are.
Is the voucher tax-free for our employees?
In Germany, non-cash benefits of up to 50 euros a month can be free of tax and social security contributions (Section 8(2) sentence 11 EStG) if the voucher is only valid at a limited group of businesses and is given in addition to wages. Check with your tax advisor whether your network's voucher meets the requirements.
Our network does not have its own voucher yet. What can we do?
Talk to your city marketing office, your local business association, or your economic development agency. Awiti Flow is run by the network, not by individual employers. We are happy to talk with you and your network.
