What is a gross salary scheme?
A gross pay scheme works by allowing employees to access health and wellness benefits like massage through a portion of their gross pay. This means:
- Pre-tax payment: The employee pays for the massage through their income before tax is paid - resulting in a tax saving.
- No additional costs for the employer: The amount is deducted directly from the employee's gross salary, so there are no additional costs for the company.
Benefits of massage as a gross salary scheme
Increased employee satisfaction
Regular massage reduces stress, eases muscle tension and promotes general well-being, making employees happier and more satisfied.
Improved productivity and well-being
When employees experience less physical discomfort and stress, they become more focused and productive, which can reduce sick leave and increase energy levels.
Increased tax benefit for employees
By paying for massages with their gross salary before tax, employees achieve a significant tax saving. This way, they get more value compared to paying after tax.
No extra costs for the company
As payment is deducted directly from the employee's gross salary, there are no additional costs. The company can offer an employee benefit without affecting the bottom line.

The 4 main goals of our massage program
At Health Group, we are dedicated to strengthening the working environment in Danish workplaces - both in terms of physical and mental well-being.
Our massage program is a key element of this effort. It is specifically designed to:
-
Relieve work-related strains on the body:
Our relaxation massage is designed to relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation. It's ideal for reducing swelling and relieving strain caused by repetitive movements or sedentary work. At the same time, it provides a much-needed break in a busy workday. -
Eliminate myoses and tension:
Physiurgical massage with us is aimed at eliminating muscle tension and myoses - the small, painful knots that can occur in the muscles. This type of massage can also relieve tension headaches and other musculoskeletal challenges that can hamper your work performance. -
Reduce stress:
Massage is an effective way to prevent and reduce stress. The physical touch during massage triggers the production of oxytocin, also known as the "love hormone," which is essential for our health and mental balance. Massage thus helps to keep body and mind in harmony. -
Retain and attract employees:
An attractive massage program makes the workplace more appealing to both current and potential employees. By offering easy and affordable massages, you show that you take your employees' wellbeing seriously - and that can be crucial to retaining and attracting the best talent.

FAQ - corporate massage as a gross salary scheme
Corporate massage as a gross salary scheme is an agreement between employer and employee where part of the employee's gross salary is used to pay for massage services. This means that employees can get access to professional massage at work, while also gaining a tax benefit as the payment is made pre-tax.
Corporate massage as a gross salary scheme works by the employee entering into an agreement with the employer to redirect a portion of their gross salary to massage.

No, there is no direct cost to the company for offering massage as a gross salary scheme. The cost is deducted from the employee's gross salary, so the company does not have to incur any extra expenses. On the contrary, it can be an investment in employee well-being that can lead to reduced sick leave and increased productivity.
For a gross salary scheme to be valid, SKAT requires that the scheme must be a fixed part of the employee's salary agreement for at least 12 months. This means that when your employees choose a company massage through the gross salary scheme, the agreement will run for one year.
Any unused credits on the massage card will therefore expire after 12 months, and it will not be possible to get a refund. Changes to the scheme can only be made at the next salary negotiation, which typically occurs after one year. For more details on the tax requirements for gross salary schemes, we recommend consulting SKAT's website.
