Employee Benefits
Employee benefits can be wide and varied. Pensions, Life Insurance, Income Protection cover, critical Illness insurance and medical insurance are areas where a business can maximise financial opportunities within your staffing costs.
Employee benefits packages are an important part of the overall remuneration package you provide for your employees and often the value attributed to the benefits package far outweighs the actual cost to the business of providing it.
The benefits you can offer your employees will ensure you effectively manage your business whilst providing for your employees in a way which will give them protection and benefits for both them and their dependents.

Salary Sacrifice
Salary Sacrifice is a tax efficient agreement between employer and employee where the employee agrees to give up an amount of their future earnings in exchange for that amount to be paid into a Workplace or Personal Pension scheme.
The employer can contribute additional money to this due to the savings they are making in their National Insurance contributions.
Benefits are:
- Employee benefits from increased contributions
- Employer does not incur any increased cost
- Income Tax and National Insurance Savings for the employee
It is important that your employees understand the potential drawbacks, as the salary is being sacrificed so any transactions that are based on amount of salary may be affected, such as income requirements for a mortgage.
Salary Sacrifice enables employers to enhance their employees remuneration package at no additional costs to the business other than the initial administration costs to set up the regular payments.
