Flexible Working for all The University has extended the statutory flexible working scheme (for parents and carers) to all University staff. To be eligible, the individual must have worked for the University continuously for 26 weeks if they qualify under the statutory right, or 1 year for all other employees at the date the application is made.
Discounted Bus Travel Alternatively employees have the option to sacrifice the agreed amount for a monthly bus ticket (for First Bus or Stagecoach) for the purposes of travelling to work (although it can also be used at weekends). The price is the same no matter how many routes you use and you don’t pay any tax or national insurance on that element of your salary. Contact HR or visit www.edenred.uk/signin
Smart Choices – Retail Discount Site The University funds the provision of this site to give employees discount to a range of major retailers such as B&Q, Debenhams, Sainsbury’s and Asda. Visit www.edenred.uk.com/signin
Bike to work scheme Employees can sacrifice part of their salary for a period of 12 months to pay for a bike and accessories for the purpose of travelling to work. No tax and national insurance is payable for the amount sacrificed and you can therefore acquire the bike of your choice at around two thirds of the normal price.
