If my employee works from home, am I obliged to pay a fixed allowance for working from home?
This is a question that many HR managers and business owners ask themselves. When an employee starts working from home, you, as an employer, are not legally obliged to pay a working-from-home allowance. However, it is possible to pay a tax-free working-from-home allowance of €2.35 (in 2024) when the employee is working from home.
Yes! Employees have access to HoorayHR’s handy HR app. It’s very easy to specify your place of work via the mobile app. Based on the reports, the system can calculate a tax-free allowance for working from home, or the tax-free travel allowance can be awarded to the employee. In this way, an accurate allowance can be provided for commuting or working from home; it is no longer necessary to award a fixed allowance.
