Employment, what to look for?
Nowadays it is not just what the employee has to offer, any
good employer will make sure it's employees are well looked after and
able to benefit from better perks and increased tax savings.
There are many ways an employer can benefit its employees, from
salary sacrifice schemes to corporate affiliations to give its employees
discounts on products and services.
You should choose an employer that can offer you the best employee
benefits package.
What is salary sacrifice?
A salary sacrifice is when an employee agrees to give up part of his/her
payment under their contract of employment. Usually, the sacrifice is
made in return for some form of non-cash benefit
The sacrifice is achieved by agreeing to amendments to the employee's
terms and conditions of employment relating to payments.
For example, if an employee's current contract calculates to an annual
payment of £40,000 a year with no benefits. The employee can agree
that they will be paid £37,084 a year and receive 12 childcare vouchers,
each with a face value of £243
Salary sacrifice can come in many forms, here are some examples:
Childcare vouchers:
An Employee can claim up to £243, by voucher scheme, per month to cover all childcare costs. Annually this calculates to an estimated £1,900 saving in Tax and NI.
Pensions:
Employees can offset their monthly pension contributions as a salary sacrifice, therefore reducing the amount of Tax and NI payable.
Mobile Phones
The employer will issue the mobile and then the employee agrees a monthly amount to cover calls. For example, if the phone costs around £100 and the monthly costs are £50 (around £10 per week), the employee could save up to £290 per year.
Eye Tests & Glasses
If an employee works with a VDU on a daily basis, they can claim the cost of the eye test. The employee can also claim the cost of the glasses -- as long as they are for work use.
Partnerships
In addition to the salary sacrifice scheme any worthy employer will also
build up corporate partnerships to further enhance the overall employee
benefits package.
These partnerships can be introduced as employee "perks" enabling
the employee to again benefit from discounts on sales and services
from various suppliers.
Some examples of this would be; high street shop discounts, discounted
insurances, corporate gym membership, leisure break deals,
TV subscriptions and much, much more.
