We would like to inform you about the planned change in the value of the meal allowance, following the published preliminary information on the draft measure of the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic on the values of the meal allowance (PI/2023/101).

According to the proposal of the measure, the amounts of meal allowance for time zones will be increased as follows:

  • 7.30 € for the time zone of 5 to 12 hours,
  • 10.90 € for the time zone over 12 hours to 18 hours,
  • 16.40 € for the time zone over 18 hours.

If the proposed changes to the meal allowance amounts were to come into force, the employer’s contribution for meals provided under Section 152 of Act No. 311/2001 Coll., the Labour Code, as amended, would amount to:

  • at least 55% of the minimum possible value of the meal ticket (EUR 5.48), i.e. EUR 3.02,
  • up to a maximum of 55 % of the allowance for the business trip running between 5 and 12 hours under the Travel Allowances Act (EUR 7.30), i.e. EUR 4.02.
