What CLVR Benefits is and what you can do with it
A quick tour of CLVR Benefits: your benefit allowance, buying benefits, claiming receipts, and where to track it all.
CLVR Benefits is the place where you put together your own benefits using a yearly Benefit Allowance your employer gives you. You decide what to spend it on: pick benefits from the Benefits Store, or claim something you already paid for by uploading the receipt. This article is a short tour of the main areas so you know where to find things.
Your benefit allowance
Your employer sets aside an amount for your benefits, your Benefit Allowance. When you sign in, the Dashboard greets you with how much you have left ("You have X left.") and the deadline to use it before it resets. The allowance bar underneath breaks down what you have spent by category and what is still available.
You spend the allowance in two ways:
- Buy a benefit in the Benefits Store.
- Upload a receipt for something you already paid for, and get it reimbursed through payroll.
Buying a benefit in the store
Open the Benefits Store to browse what your employer offers, grouped by category. On a benefit's page you fill in the short form and choose a Payment Method:
- Benefit Allowance: use your allocated allowance.
- Salary Deduction: deduct from your next paycheck instead.
Before you confirm, a Total Cost summary shows exactly what you will pay, including how much comes from your allowance versus salary.
Claiming a receipt
For things like a gym membership (wellness / friskvård), select Upload Expense from the Dashboard (or drag a receipt onto the upload area), then follow the guided steps. Your report is created with a Pending status, you get a confirmation email, and many wellness expenses are approved automatically within seconds.
Costs and tax, explained before you commit
Some benefits are tax-free; others count as a taxable benefit and carry employer social fees (the Sweden tax pack handles this for Swedish companies). You never have to work this out yourself: the Total Cost breakdown spells it out before you confirm, including any tax-free portion, the taxable portion, and the social fee added on top.
When an expense or purchase is Pending or in review, the matching amount is held against your allowance so your remaining balance reflects it. If it is declined, that amount is released back to your allowance.
Where to track everything
Open My Benefits to review every expense report and purchase you have submitted, with its current status. A report moves through:
- Pending: submitted, waiting for the first review.
- In review: an approver is looking at it.
- Approved or Auto-approved: cleared for reimbursement through payroll.
- Declined: open it to read the reason, then fix and resubmit.
For the full money picture, Compensation shows your total compensation: salary plus the value of your benefits.
How you sign in
You do not create a username: your work email is your identity. The sign-in options you see depend on what your company set up for your email domain, so not everyone signs in the same way. CLVR works out the right method once you enter your work email. For how that choice is made, see which sign-in method your company uses.
