I'd expect work from home + daily lunch stipend.
- forbiddenvoid 5y agoWho is doing this? I've not heard of most companies doing anything about lunch for WFH employees.
- sofixa 5y agoAs usual, depends on location. In France employers bigger than some numbers are mandated to provide some lunch allowance in specific vouchers/cards usable for grocery shopping/restaurants/etc. OR at least a partially covered cantine. There's no specific provision for WFH, so we still get lunch allowance ( 9.80€/day, iirc the minimum is around 6.50), which is a bit hard to use when you no longer go to a restaurant every day.
- jimbilly22 5y agoI used to work in PE (private equity), very common there. One daily DoorDash lunch order, put anything you want.
- gnicholas 5y agoFWIW, employers that provide free lunch do so partly because of the tax efficiency. The IRS allows certain perks to be provided on-site "for the convenience of the employer". This argument would not apply for at-home workers, so the stipend would have to be included in the employee's income. Not a dealbreaker, but it does affect the calculus.
