Benefits

3 articles

Flowtly provides organizations with a dedicated section to define, manage, and assign benefits to their employees. This feature supports common employee perks such as private medical care, sport cards, meal subsidies, and life insurance. Each benefit definition includes its cost, applicable tax rate, and the standard company contribution, all structured with specific start and end dates to manage pricing periods.

Benefits are structured with time-based pricing tiers. When a pricing tier is established for a benefit, the system maintains historical data and ensures continuity between pricing periods.

Employees are assigned benefits with a defined start and end date range, allowing one employee to hold multiple benefits concurrently. Benefit details, including the benefit name, cost, tax rate, company contribution amount, and their valid start and end dates, are clearly displayed within the user interface.

Employee benefits are visible in the employee profile's Benefits tab and in the Accountancy employee detail view.

Access to benefits management is controlled by specific user roles:

  • Benefit Viewer: Provides read-only access to all benefit information.
  • Benefit Manager: Grants full capabilities to create, read, update, and delete benefits.

Example use cases

  • Define a "Private Medical Care" benefit, including its initial cost, tax rate, and standard company contribution, with a specified start date.
  • Assign a "Sport Card" benefit to an employee, setting the period for which they are entitled to it.
  • Adjust the cost or company contribution for an existing "Meal Subsidy" benefit by establishing a new pricing period.
  • Review the historical pricing and coverage details for any defined benefit.

App routes

  • Open /benefits: Access the master list of all defined benefits, showing their name and current cost/coverage.
