How to pay for employee benefits with a credit card
Most medium to large businesses offer employee benefits as a way of helping staff save money, minimise tax and feel that the business is giving something back to them for their hard work other than just their paychecks.
Depending on your industry, you could provide employees benefits including salary packaging and novated leasing so they can enjoy tax savings on everything from a new car to a new mobile phone, eating out at restaurants and airline lounge memberships.
There are many providers in Australia who can organise these leasing and salary packaging arrangements for your business – but their services don’t come for free.
They will normally charge a fee to the business each time an employee uses the services.
Depending on how many employees you have, these fees could add up.
However, with pay.com.au you can pay for them using a points-earning rewards credit card so that it is not just your employees enjoying the benefits, but you too.
With low fees and a simple and easy-to-use interface, pay.com.au can help you do business better.
Those employee benefits fees could help you on your way to explore WA with a Business Class flight to Perth.
How can I pay employee benefits by credit card?
Whether an employee benefits provider lets you pay their fees by credit card or not does not matter.
With pay.com.au, you can pay them with any credit or charge card of your choice.
This includes American Express cards, which often earn the most frequent flyer points but are not as widely accepted as VISA and Mastercard.
How many points can you earn paying for employee benefits with a credit card?
This depends on how many employees you have and how many of them take up the benefits.
However, with the right business credit card you can earn up to 1.25 points per dollar spent on employee benefits paid through pay.com.au
That could amount to thousands of points a year.
