The main elements of the social package

LCA (voluntary health insurance policy) is perhaps the most popular element of social services. package among IT companies. In this case, it is worth noting that the full payment of VMI is understood as a “simple” VHI from a seedy insurance company, and “tricked” with dentistry and other useful procedures for pleasing the body and soul. Partial payment is when an employee is offered to deposit some of his money for the VMI policy. There are cases (the diagram is 3%), when the company pays bills from honey. institutions on the fact of their presentation, a kind of alternative to all the usual VHI.

In this case, the full payment also includes a rented or personal gym of the company. But the presence of table hockey, kicker or tennis table in the hallway or even in a separate room did not affect the statistics.
