Has anybody put in a benefit where employees can purchase office equipment for home and pay back through payroll? Not aware of any benefit providers offering this but if you know of anyone please do let me know. Thanks
We offer a fixed allowance in order to purchase items to make it more comfortable to work at home - ie screen, keyboard, office chair etc. Its a one off allowance and is claimed back through expenses on presentation of a proper VAT receipt.
We currently use the expense system for this, but also use Twic for a flex funds allowance, that is a taxed reimbursement on certain purchases. We're now looking to provide employees a home office equipment allowance in Twic to reimbursement employees for certain purchases. Twic are a US provider but cover our global allowances.
During Covid we allowed employees to order equipment from a pre-determined list . They would need to return if leaver or have the option to purchase after a certain time period. Post-covid we're offering an allowance (to be determined but likely to be £300-£500) to purchase WFH equipment.

Currently use Expenses system - allowance broadly £250 but varies country-country.
Interested to understand if there is a vendor that can offer an online 'store-front' or a 'interest-free loan' or 'cycle to work' style scheme.
