The limits for each benefit are tied to the payroll cycle. The first time a benefit limit is set for an employee, it applies to the current payroll cycle. Any subsequent update to the benefit limit after the initial setup will take effect in the next payroll cycle.
The company has defined that its payroll cycles start and end on the 20th.If an employee is created on the 18th and the meal limit is set that same day to €200, the employee will be able to spend up to that amount on meals starting from the 18th.If on the 19th another request is made to update the meal limit to €220, the employee will not see this new limit until the current cycle closes on the 20th. From that moment on, the meal limit will be €220.
