Employee
Benefits
1. Final Salary Pension
Scheme
Staff employed by London Probation Trust have
the benefit of being eligible to join the Local Government Pension
Scheme, which is a final salary scheme and includes provision for
early retirement on the grounds of ill
health.
These two features make this scheme highly
desirable when compared to the usual money purchase/endowment
scheme which has pension benefits based on investment fund
performance. The Pension Scheme is contributory with
contributions ranging between five and seven per cent depending on
salary with a significant employer contribution of approximately
three to four times that level.
In addition, scheme members
in London may opt to contribute to an Additional
Voluntary Contribution scheme administered by Prudential.
Such contributions may attract tax relief depending on the
circumstances of the contributor.
For more information see the
London Pension Fund Authority
website.
2. Salary Sacrifice
Childcare
Through our payroll system, London Probation
Trust has arranged a salary sacrifice childcare option. This means
that staff who have childcare responsibilities can choose to offset
their salary to achieve a tax benefit which will then contribute
towards the funding of childcare costs.
3. Eyesight
Tests
Employees are entitled to a reimbursement of the cost of eye and eyesight
tests if they are required to regularly work with a Visual Display
Unit.
4. Generous Leave
Allowance
London Probation Trust’s
basic leave entitlement for all full-time staff (pro-rata for
part-time staff) is 27 days inclusive of service days rising to 33
days inclusive. In addition, there is payment for eight
Public/Bank holidays (pro-rata for part-time
staff).
5. Confidential
Helpline
24/7 helpline is available for staff to ring
for confidential advice on a range of issues covering health,
relationships, financial and legal issues.
6. Flexible
Working
London Probation Trust operates a flexible
working arrangement whereby staff have some flexibility, subject to
agreement with their line manager, in choosing starting and
finishing times.
In addition, staff may
(subject to work demands and management approval) work additional
hours in one flexi-time period which can be accumulated and
used to a maximum of two days leave of absence in the following
flexi-time period. The flexi-time period is four
weeks.
