Eight out of ten workers want the portability of the balance of food and meal voucher cards, points out a report carried out by LCA Consultores at the request of iFood.
Portability is one of the biggest innovations in new PAT (Worker's Food Program), and allows workers to transfer the balance of these cards to the chosen operator's card — just as it is already possible to do with the salary account and cell phone number.
Already approved in Law 14,442, portability regulation is being discussed to detail the rules for its operation, a process expected to end in May 2024.
Check out four important numbers from the survey below that reveal workers' opinions on the portability of food and meal vouchers.
The LCA study shows that 81% of the workers who receive this benefit want to choose the food and meal voucher operator, regardless of the one hired by the company where they work.
Among the people interviewed, 43% of users of newer companies in the sector are satisfied or very satisfied — more than users of traditional companies (36%).
More than a third (36%) of workers would like to change the current operator of the food and meal voucher card they receive.
When portability is in force, workers will have the freedom to choose, among the 436 providers that currently operate in the Brazilian benefits market, the company that offers the best experience, the most technology, the most convenient basket of benefits and the most convenient accredited network.
Among people who want to change operator, 38% are dissatisfied because their card's current brand is not accepted in all establishments.
