JC 107 — Master tailors and dressmakers — Master tailors and dressmakers: your meal vouchers rise to €6 minimum in 2026
Joint committee 107 provides for a €2 increase in the meal voucher face value per day actually worked from 1 January 2026, bringing the sectoral minimum to €6. This measure applies to all workers in the sector, including home-based workers, with no distinction between blue-collar and white-collar staff.
Your challenges
Sound familiar?
What impact on your salary costs?
An increase of €2 per day worked represents a noticeable rise in total salary costs. In an artisanal sector with tight margins, anticipating the budgetary impact is essential.
Are your payroll parameters up to date?
Meal vouchers already exist under JC 107: this is not a new scheme but an update of the amount. The employer share, employee share and face value must be corrected before the first 2026 issuance.
How to retain scarce, skilled craftspeople?
Made-to-measure tailoring skills are scarce and hard to replace. Positioning meal vouchers above the sectoral minimum becomes a concrete lever for attractiveness and retention.
Key measures
What applies to your sector
Face value increase to €6 minimum
From 1 January 2026, the total meal voucher face value increases by €2 per day actually worked, to reach a sectoral minimum of €6.
Application to all workers
The measure covers all JC 107 workers, including home-based and part-time workers via prorated calculation, with no distinction between blue-collar and white-collar staff.
Update of an existing benefit
Meal vouchers are not newly introduced: the obligation already exists. You only need to update the amount in your HR and payroll systems, not set up a new scheme.
Separate €40 gift voucher
The agreement also provides a €40 gift voucher on 6 December 2025 and 6 December 2026. This benefit is separate from the meal vouchers and must be managed through a distinct channel.

Turn your benefits into a recruitment asset
In an artisanal trade where skilled profiles are scarce, raising meal vouchers above the sectoral minimum concretely strengthens your company's appeal and the retention of your craftspeople. Digitalising meal vouchers centralises issuance and tracking, removes manual processing, reduces prorating errors on partial days and gives small HR teams real-time visibility over spend.
