Configure Air Ticket Benefits for Employees in the GCC on Keka

 

Introduction

In GCC countries, many companies provide an Air Ticket benefit as part of their employee compensation package. This allowance helps expatriate employees cover airfare expenses to visit their families back home.

The benefit is typically offered annually and can be availed in different ways:

• Direct ticket booking

• Reimbursement for a booked ticket

• Encashment if the employee chooses not to travel

Eligibility, coverage, and usage rules often vary depending on company policies, contracts, departments, and locations. For instance, some companies extend the allowance to an employee’s family, while others provide it only for the employee.
