“In cases where meals are not provided in the workplace or in outbuilding of the workplace, if the benefits provided to the insured in the form of meals are given in cash or through meal cards/vouchers/tickets that can be used for purposes other than purchasing meals, the portion of the total calculated by multiplying the daily meal cost for the workdays which the amount determined by the Institution’s Board of Directors, which does not exceed the specified limit, will not be considered in the calculation of premium-based earnings.”
