What are employee stipends?
Employee stipends, sometimes called fringe benefits, lifestyle benefits, or lifestyle spending accounts, are a fixed amount of money offered to employees to help pay for work, wellness, living expenses, and so much more.
You can think of these perks as monthly allowances—it’s a flat amount budgeted for each employee, which they can spend wherever they choose. However, as the employer, you can decide which expenses are eligible for reimbursement.
