[Slovakia] Increase in meal allowance from September 1, 2022

Due to the high inflation, the amounts of meals for domestic business trips shall increase in September as follows:

• 6,40 EUR – time zone 5 to 12 hours,
• 9,60 EUR – time zone 12 to 18 hours,
• 14,50 EUR – over 18 hours.

Since the payout of the meal vouchers/meal provision is linked to the amounts of meals for domestic business trips, the amount of meal voucher/meal provision and the employer contribution shall rise as well.

Please note that:

• The maximum value of meal/meal voucher shall be 6,40 EUR
• The minimum value of meal/meal voucher shall be 4,80 EUR.
• The maximum possible employer’s contribution to meal/meal voucher shall be increased to 3,52 EUR.
• The minimum possible employer’s contribution to meal/meal voucher shall be increased to 2,64 EUR.

If the employer provides a financial compensation instead of a meal allowance, this shall be equal to the amount the employer contributes to the employee´s meal/meal voucher:

• min. amount of financial contribution = 2,64 EUR
• max. amount of financial contribution = 3,52 EUR

The employer can also provide a financial contribution from the social fund, without limit. Meal vouchers and a financial contribution for meals are provided in advance.

Change in compensation per kilometer for business trips:

From September, the following basic compensations for each km will apply:

• 0,063 €/km – single-track vehicles, tricycles,
• 0,227 €/km – passenger road motor vehicles.
