Integration of Up Luxembourg meal vouchers into Microtis’ Gesper Salaires
Fewer exports, fewer re-entries, greater control. Microtis details the integration of Up Luxembourg meal vouchers into “Gesper Salaires”, its Luxembourg payroll software: automation designed to ensure data reliability, guarantee compliance, and streamline the management of employee benefits directly through payroll.
Interview with Microtis: Integrating Up meal vouchers into payroll
Microtis is a long-standing provider of HR and payroll solutions in Luxembourg. What role does Gesper Salaires play today in managing corporate payroll ?
Today, Gesper Salaires is used by nearly one in three companies in Luxembourg with more than 100 employees. It is the flagship software of the Gesper HR suite, which Microtis has been developing and improving for nearly 30 years.
Beyond its powerful gross-to-net payroll engine, its strength lies in its detailed understanding of Luxembourg’s legal and tax requirements, which change regularly and require constant updates. The software also includes numerous features specific to Luxembourg, such as automated communications with public agencies (ACD, CCSS, MultiLine, etc.), which reduces the risk of errors and ensures compliance with reporting requirements.
Its second advantage stems from the very design of the Gesper HR suite, a comprehensive HRIS built on a single database shared by all modules… This architecture ensures the reliability and consistency of information and saves HR teams a considerable amount of time.
Why did Microtis choose to partner with UP Luxembourg for the integration of digital meal vouchers ?
Meal vouchers are now an essential employee benefit in Luxembourg. However, in many companies, their management is still largely done manually, involving data exports, separate calculations, or re-entering data.
Our partnership with Up Luxembourg, a major player in the market, serves a clear purpose: to simplify and secure the administration of this benefit directly within the payroll system.
The widespread adoption of digital meal vouchers presents an opportunity to rethink these processes. By integrating the ordering process directly into Gesper Salaires, we enable companies to save time, reduce the risk of errors, and centralize information in a single tool.
In practical terms, how does the integration of UP meal vouchers into Gesper Salaires work ?
The integration is based on a simple principle: meal vouchers are managed directly through the payroll software.
Gesper Salaires allows you to assign meal vouchers to each employee. The order can then be generated and sent directly to Up Luxembourg, without the need for exporting or external processing. The information remains consistent across payroll, the benefit granted, and the order placed, with full traceability of data and transactions.
This automation helps secure the entire process while significantly simplifying the work of HR teams.
What benefits does this integration bring to HR and payroll teams on a day-to-day basis ?
First, time savings: HR teams no longer have to manage multiple tools or prepare export files.
The second benefit is data reliability, since the information comes directly from payroll. The integration also provides better traceability and smoother management of employee benefits, facilitating internal controls.
In short, this represents a logical step toward more automated and integrated HR process management.
How do you see the integration of employee benefits into payroll software evolving in Luxembourg ?
Payroll software will evolve into platforms capable of managing all aspects of employee compensation, not just base pay.
This transformation will be accelerated by the European directive on pay transparency, which is scheduled to be implemented in June 2026. Companies will need to have a clear understanding of all components of compensation, including non-statutory benefits.
In this context, payroll will become the foundation for transparency and comprehensive compensation management, with tools that are increasingly integrated into the HR information system.
