In 2025, the gift card remains the preferred benefit of social and economic committees (CSE). And with good reason: 80% of elected representatives use them to thank employees and build loyalty. But why is this format so appealing? Quite simply because it combines simplicity, flexibility and purchasing power.
A URSSAF benefit exempt from charges
First reason: the gift card is exempt from social security contributions. By respecting the URSSAF ceiling (€196 per event in 2025), the company has no contributions to pay. So the employee gets a real boost, at no extra cost to the employer. Weddings, births, Christmas, back-to-school: these are just some of the URSSAF events for which you can offer a gift card, without adding to your payroll.
A solution that's quick and easy to distribute
Secondly, the gift card is easy to manage. With a platform like Uggy, everything is done online. In just a few clicks, CSE representatives can credit their employees. No more paper cheques to store. Everything is digitized, traceable and secure. What's more, beneficiaries receive their cards instantly.
Total freedom for the employee
Another plus: the gift card offers maximum freedom. Employees spend as they wish. They can choose from a wide range of brands, from local businesses to major brand names. This meets today's expectations of useful, local and responsible consumption.
A tool to support local trade
Multi-brand gift cards also support the local economy. They boost local businesses. A real plus for companies wishing to combine endowment and CSR commitment.
A solution that boosts QWL
By offering a gift card, the CSE reinforces the quality of life at work. Employees feel recognized and motivated. And a valued team is always more committed.
In short, the gift card ticks all the boxes:
✅ Benefit exempt from charges
