If you earn at least 465 euros a month in wages or salaries, your earnings count towards the employment condition. This means that your employment condition can accrue entirely from fringe benefits, such as a car or accommodation benefit.
For example, if you are laid off entirely from work but you enjoy a fringe benefit with a taxable value of at least 465 euros reported in the Incomes Register, the fringe benefit alone may count towards your employment condition.
This is important to keep in mind because the amount of your earnings-related daily allowance is determined by the wages and salaries from which your employment condition is accrued. For example, if a part of your employment condition has accrued exclusively from monthly fringe benefits, this may significantly reduce the amount of your future daily allowance.
