How do I submit holiday receipts?

In this article, you will learn how to submit receipts for your holiday expenses via the become.1 app to receive the virtual holiday allowance provided by your employer.

become.1 Holiday is a sub-module of become.1 Flex. It can be provided by your employer individually, in combination with other Flex benefits, or as part of the full Flex version.

Through this module, you can have certain holiday expenses subsidized by uploading your receipts. As this benefit is based on the statutory recovery aid (Erholungsbeihilfe), the allowance is subject to a strict legal and tax-free cap of a maximum of 156 € per calendar year. The payout of your holiday allowance takes place seamlessly in the following month directly via your payslip.
