Cash instead of meal ticket?
According to two young Economists of ‘Newagegroup’ (Újkorcsoport) organisation, meal tickets should be given to the workers in cash.
Kaderják Dániel and Balázs András stated that the free meal vouchers are not for free. The high quality and safety of the meal tickets and even the production and waste disposal costs are substantial, which is a serious burden for the employers. The two economists propose that the workers should be given the real cash value of meal vouchers. If it could work employers could pay the same amount as taxes into the budget, that they are paying as a commission on issuing the tickets.
