Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Travel and Leisure and a salary sacrifice holiday purchase scheme?
A Travel and Leisure benefit allows employees to sacrifice part of their salary to pay for a holiday through manageable, monthly payments. Separate from this, salary sacrifice holiday purchase schemes are a type of employee benefit where employees can purchase additional vacation days through sacrificing some of their salary. This is a way for employees to gain extra time off work without reducing their annual leave entitlement
How do employees save money with a salary sacrifice holiday benefit?
Our travel benefit offers a wide range of destinations, exclusive offers, and discounts to help employees save money while booking their holidays. Additionally, by spreading the cost of their holiday, your workforce can book when rates are cheap, rather than only when they can afford it
Add to that the fact that Payroll Pay® comes out before income tax is taken from employees’ paychecks. Holidays that were otherwise difficult to afford holidays can thus become a real possibility for your employees
Can employees salary sacrifice family travel tickets?
Yes, employees can use our salary sacrifice holiday scheme to book a trip for their family
Is there a limit to the number of family members who can accompany an employee with the travel benefit?
There is no limit to the number of travellers, as long as the holiday is within the employee’s affordability and won’t bring them below the National Living Wage
