Absolutely yes. StayPlus is a versatile platform. With the same principle of use for Customers, you can load your employees’ Cards, which they can use for welfare vouchers within the affiliated network. Also, consider that using StayPlus as a corporate welfare tool fits within the regulatory framework provided by:

Circular of the Revenue Agency no. 28/E of June 15, 2016
→ clarifies that shopping vouchers or gift cards redeemable at multiple retailers fully qualify as non-taxable benefits under art. 51 TUIR.

Art. 51, paragraph 2 of the TUIR (Presidential Decree 917/1986)
→ establishes that do not contribute to forming the employee’s income the amounts, goods, and services provided as corporate welfare within certain limits.

D.L. 81/2023 (Labor Decree) and subsequent extensions (2024–2025)
→ confirm the possibility of providing fringe benefits and purchase vouchers exempt up to €2,000 annually for workers with dependent children and €1,000 for others.

When a hotel uses StayPlus to grant welfare vouchers to employees:

• The amount granted does not constitute taxable income for the employee (within the prescribed limits);
• It is not subject to social security or welfare contributions;
• It is fully deductible from business income as an expense for employee services (art. 95 TUIR).
