How to Encourage Employees to Take Up Salary Sacrifice Schemes

Many employees are initially hesitant about taking up salary sacrifice schemes. Perhaps this is because they contain the term ‘salary sacrifice’. However, the benefits of taking up a scheme are beneficial to the employee, the employer, and the environment. Encouraging employees to take up a scheme is often simply a case of educating them of the possible benefits. Upon which, you’ll find that many are agreeable to the idea once they know what it entails. Make sure your employees know about the following benefits. Chances are they’ll certainly consider the idea!

Company Car

With a company car, all employees need to pay for is fuel. All of the other unexpected charges that come with driving a car are covered by the scheme. These changes may be paying for punctures to be repaired, windscreen wiper replacements or windscreen cracks. This gives your employees a whole lot less to worry about. We all know that a stress-free worker is a more productive one. Thus, creating a win-win outcome for both you and you and your workforce. The only thing your employees will have to manage is the fuel.

Super Savings

Another huge benefit is that employees save money on all the things mentioned above. As well, they don’t have to worry about fixing these potential problems. Employees who opts-in, albeit on a reduced salary, will make further savings. These savings are on tax and national insurance, due to having a reduced wage. What’s more, employees will be taxed on their gross salary for the benefit of having a car rather than their net. So they won’t be losing as much from their actual take-home pay as they probably thought. Along with this, the added bonus of not having to pay often pricey car insurance is also there.

The Co2 footprint of the average customer’s workforce can be lowered by as much as 35% when choosing low-emitting cars, which we can all agree is worth doing for the health of our planet.
