Is this a constructive obligation

33mr12y ago
The company provides a $20 meal for each employee per day as stated in the contract signed by the employees. Is this considered a constructive obligation? Can the company form a monthly provision for estimated expense for the subsequent month? ie. Average present employees per day: 75 Net working days per month: 22 $20 x 75 x 22 = $33,000

What makes you think this is only constructive? It's apparently in the contract of employment (according to your post) That makes it a legal obligation Why would you need to make a provision? If by the end of the month / year all the meals have been allocated / eaten, why provide? On a matching basis, expenses recognised to match the time period to which that expense relates, then ...... no provision in my mind OK?
