With the newest tech getting more and more expensive, it’s difficult to keep ahead of the curve. Prohibitively expensive computers and smartphones mean your employees could be doing without the essential tools they need to advance their skillsets
The solution? Tech salary sacrifice schemes. In this article, we’ll explore how tech schemes work, as well as Ben’s top picks for these employee benefit providers, so you can find the best fit for your team.
Let’s dive in!
What is a tech scheme?
A tech scheme is a type of salary sacrifice scheme that allows your employees to purchase home and tech items interest free by automatically setting aside part of their salary. It also allows them to spread the cost, so it’s less of a shock to their paycheque.
Through a tech scheme, your employees aren’t relegated to a specific type or brand of tech – they can choose the items that work best for them.
Why are tech scheme benefits important to offer your employees?
Tech schemes empower your employees with an affordable way to pay for the tech and home items they want. The cost is spread over 12-36 month interest-free payments, making obtaining top tech much easier. Meanwhile, as an employer, you also get to save on National Insurance contributions due to the salary sacrifice nature of the benefit.
Tech schemes also help improve IT literacy in your employees, which means it can boost their productivity and improve their overall skills.
