Employee Benefits
Discover the perks of the job
Medicash
We offer Level 1 cover through Medicash. Cash plans are designed to help you meet the cost of everyday healthcare such as routine dental treatments, prescriptions and physiotherapy. There is also the added benefits of 24/7 health & stress-related helplines, virtual GPs and extra discounts with various retailers.
Please note, as this is medical cover, it is classed as a benefit in kind and therefore will be subject to P11D tax. The cost for this benefit per year is £101.52, which is paid by the company. You will only pay the tax on that value which equates to approximately £1.69 per month (for a 20% tax-paying employee).
Details of joining the Medicash scheme will be provided upon successful completion of your probationary period.
(Available to contracted hours employees only).
Life Assurance
This benefit is also known as “death in service” which pays 4x annual salary to your nominated beneficiaries.
The insurance is provided by Canada Life and will be for all contracted hours employees, up to the age of 65.
There is no cost to you for this benefit as it is not classed as a benefit in kind and is not subject to an employee tax contribution.
An expression of wishes form will need to be completed as this details whom you would like the benefit paid to in the event of your death. The scheme also includes bereavement and probate services.
An expression of wishes form will be sent to you upon joining. Should you require another form for completion, please email [email protected].
