What you need to know
As a PayPal employee, you may be able to claim annual eye care costs by providing receipts from visits to your vision care provider.
How it works
In accordance with the Swedish Work Environment Act, PayPal may cover the cost of an eye exam and pay a contribution towards computer glasses, if the glasses are required to perform your daily work in front of a computer screen. You can book an appointment at any licensed optician in Sweden.
What the company will cover:
- Up to a maximum of SEK 1,000, excluding VAT, for an eye examination
- Up to a maximum of SEK 200, excluding VAT, for frames. If you select more expensive frames, you are responsible for the additional cost at your own expense.
- Up to a maximum of SEK 1,500, excluding VAT, for lenses
- If you have a confirmed eye condition that requires specialist lenses to work on a computer screen, as confirmed by your current eye examination, you may claim up to a maximum of SEK 2,000, excluding VAT, for lenses.
To make a claim, submit the expense via Concur attaching a copy of your eyesight prescription from the optician and the receipts for any associated expenses. This will go to your manager for review and approval.
