food products produced and grown by the employer, as well as other agricultural products - to employees involved in their production;
in form of food and temporary accommodation - to workers hired to run a household.
Payment of wages in kind must be stipulated in the employment contract. However, the total amount of wages in kind may not exceed 30%.
