Restaurant vouchers may only be used to pay for a meal at a restaurant or fruit and vegetable retailer during the calendar year to which they refer and for a period of two months from 1 January of the following year.
No vouchers issued during the current year may be used by the employee until he or she has used all the vouchers issued during the previous calendar year.
Vouchers not used during this period and returned by beneficiary employees to their employer no later than the following fortnight are exchanged free of charge for an equal number of vouchers valid for the subsequent period.
