Salary Exchange

The zero-cost employee benefit

They get more. You keep more.

Right now, you pay National Insurance contributions on your employees’ gross salary and, then, contribute to their workplace pension as well. Your employees also contribute to their pension and National Insurance record. 

But in a Salary Exchange scheme – or Salary Sacrifice scheme – both you and your employees could pay less National Insurance contributions.

How? 

In a Salary Exchange scheme, the employee agrees to give up a portion of their salary for a non-cash benefit. This is usually for increased pension contributions. What happens next is that:

  • you pay your employee’s workplace pension directly from their gross salary.
  • Your employee’s gross salary is reduced by that amount.
  • Both you and your employee pay less NICs based on lower earnings than before.

This means more cash in your employees’ pockets each month, potentially more pension in their pot and more cash left in your business.

That’s a lot of mores.

What are the advantages of Salary Sacrifice?

It is a zero-cost employee benefit that puts more in the pockets of businesses and staff. Husky unlocks the benefits of Salary Sacrifice helping employers and employees save more.

Reduced tax and NICs.

This cost-effective agreement reduces the employee’s annual salary. Income tax and NICs are then calculated on lower earnings, allowing you and your staff to keep more and save more.

Boosted business savings.

Paying less NICs to your employee’s record means more business savings for you.

Boosted pension pot.

You could boost your employee’s pot by adding your business savings to their pension. Salary Sacrifice becomes a valuable workplace benefit when employers boost their staff’s pensions.

Increased employee satisfaction.

Salary Sacrifice is a zero-cost employee benefit. It increases employee satisfaction and retention.

Instant tax relief.

Basic earners get instant tax relief but high-earners have to claim back the extra 20%-25% tax themselves. We take the extra work off your plate by setting up Salary Exchange and giving all earners instant tax relief.
