⚠️ Note: The following information does not constitute tax or legal advice. The tax classification in individual cases is solely your responsibility as an employer. We recommend clarifying specific questions with your tax advisor.
How Hrmony Gifts Works
1. Select Gift Type You have two options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| You choose | You select a specific voucher from the available partner assortment |
| Employees choose themselves | You provide a credit – employees independently select their desired voucher. A service fee applies for this. |
2. Delivery Your employees receive the voucher code or link directly via the Hrmony App.
3. Redemption Redemption takes place directly with the respective voucher partner according to their terms.
