There are some benefits that have a similar offering across all sectors, such as company cars, cycle to work schemes, flexitime and income protection. Private sector employers are more likely to offer benefits such as car allowance, healthcare and life assurance. It can be assumed that budgetary requirements within the public and non-profit sectors would be a large portion of the reason why certain benefits cannot be offered. It’s positive to see the broad use of benefits on top of salary that are being offered by all sectors. In addition to the above, the survey asked if employees were given the option to purchase or sell back annual leave. Nearly 53% of respondents stated this was offered to employees. Of those that responded yes, 20% of them belonged to the public sector, twice the proportion of last year. All the respondents offering this were from an in-house payroll team. It may be worth further exploration as to why no outsourced payroll providers offer this arrangement.
