Hands-on seminars and cooking workshops focused on healthy eating in everyday work life. Employees learn how to easily fit healthy meals into their daily routine – cooking, eating, and learning from one another together. Strong team-building effect, lasting knowledge transfer. Not ZPP-certified. Upfit also offers a ZPP-certified 12-month plan for participants; German statutory health insurers usually reimburse part of the cost of certified courses to their members (Section 20 SGB V).

Tax and health insurance: what is possible
Employer health benefits can be tax-free under § 3 no. 34 of the German Income Tax Act (EStG) up to €600 per employee per year — if they are provided in addition to the salary already owed and are either certified (§ 20 SGB V) or implemented within the company's health promotion process. Gym memberships and corporate fitness are not covered. For ZPP-certified courses (e.g. from Upfit), German statutory health insurers can reimburse all or part of the course fee to their insured members — then only the amount exceeding that reimbursement is tax-free. Projects within the company can be funded under § 20b SGB V, with no entitlement. Only your tax adviser can confirm the tax exemption.
