Note! Check which wellbeing services you can buy with Epassi.

Epassi Wellbeing is a “voluntary” part of the occupational health care provided by the employer. That is why the Wellbeing benefit comes with an employer’s referral that specifies what the benefit can be used for. The employer can limit the benefit to, for example, only massage services or dental care.

 

 

Note! Please remember that, according to the Finnish Tax Administration’s guidance, you can’t use the Wellbeing benefit to pay for any aesthetic services, such as hairdresser, beauty or spa-type treatments.
