What is Flexi Benefits ?


The Flexi Benefits Module is a way for Employers to provide additional benefits to their employees, aside from the necessary Expenses an employee can claim. Employees are allocated points, the amount of which are customisable by the admin, as a Benefit Entitlement for a set period of time (such as an year 2022 Entitlement)


Employees can choose from the available selections and claims that admins set up, such as Medical Coverage, Productivity tools, and wellness subscriptions, and spend points on the benefits & claims they value most. This is a module that centres around employee recruitment, engagement and retention. 


What are Flexi Benefit Policies?


Flexi Benefits Claim Policies  are tied to the current ongoing Entitlement cycle. Policies are a different type of benefits that work similarly to Expense Claims. But while Expense claims are more for employees being able to be re-compensated for necessary expenses such as transport fees or meal allowances, Benefits Claims lean more towards additional benefits a company may provide to their employees, such as claims for purchase of productivity-related electronics, or health and well-being related subscriptions such as Gym memberships or mindfulness courses. These Claims can be limited by amount, as well as number of times claimable per cycle.
