Lunch at Work

Work pays £12 per day for lunch through Deliveroo; they have just announced this amount will increase to £15 per day.

I can not say how happy I am. While it is a taxable benefit, I hardly buy dinner these days. I have a gastric sleeve, so i just eat a little and then save my lovely lunch for dinner. Honestly, saving me around £120 plus a month.

We also get a lovely breakfast on a Monday to welcome us back to the office, a fully stocked kitchen with every snack you can imagine and paid for team drinks every month. There are only 50 of us in the office.

These little perks really make being in the office 5 days a week a little more bearable (work in facilities, so we have to be in). What's the best little perk your job offers?

Now that's one hell of a perk! Travel costs me £254 pm. I would love this!

My son gets a monthly travel pass 1-4 as part of his job , mainly because as a tech support he is at various clients every week - plus they get ‘order in’ for every Friday lunch up to £20 . That does help a lot

I work in a GP surgery. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays off are the biggest perk, along with biscuits / cakes / chocolates from patients at Christmas is nice 🙂
