Airline Ticket

Introduction

In GCC countries, companies commonly offer a benefit known as the 'Air Ticket,' which serves as an airfare allowance for expatriate employees. This recurring benefit is typically provided on an annual basis and can be availed through various methods, including booking a ticket, reimbursement for an already booked ticket, or encashment of the allowance if the employee chooses not to use it.

The primary purpose of this benefit is to alleviate the financial burden associated with travel, allowing employees to visit their families in their home countries. The specifics of the benefit, such as eligibility and coverage, may vary based on factors like the employment contract, department, location, and employer policies. For example, some companies may extend the ticket benefit to the employee's family, while others may restrict it to the employee alone.

Let us now take a look at how to set up an Air Ticket policy and how to add employees to it on the Keka portal.
