In addition to a relaxed working environment and a peaceful setting among the picturesque Kent countryside, employees at Holiday Extras are provided with a range of benefits that are not only designed to reward their hard work, but also preserve their well-being:
Profit share
After successfully completing a probationary period with Holiday Extras, all members of staff - be they full or part-time - will be included in the company profit share scheme.
Your percentage of the profit share 'pot' is calculated according to your salary and hours worked, with the amount doubling following two years of completed employment.
In addition, the profit share scheme is not only reserved for permanent members of staff, but is also paid to those temporary staff members who return each year.
Full details of the profit share will be included with your Contract of Employment.
Private healthcare
Issued by BUPA, Holiday Extras has negotiated preferential rates for staff members and their dependents.
After four years of continuous employment, Holiday Extras will cover this cost for full-time staff and provide the option for you to pay for the whole family too.
For part-time staff, Holiday Extras pays a proportion of the monthly subscription which will be calculated according to the contracted hours of work per week.
Contributory pension scheme
In partnership with Scottish Widows, Holiday Extras provides a voluntary pension scheme into which it contributes 3% of your basic annual salary after three months of employment if you too decide to pay a minimum of 3%.
After four years of employment, the company will increase its contribution to 4%, and after 10 years its contribution increases to 5%, so long as the contribution does not exceed the employees own contribution.
The only requirements of joining the pension scheme are that staff must be over 18 and should contribute at least 3% of their basic annual salary (calculated from hours worked for part-time staff).
Holiday entitlement
The annual leave entitlement for full-time staff is 20 working days each year. After each full year of continuous service, this entitlement increases by one day up to a maximum of 25 days per calendar year.
Entitlement for new staff is calculated on a pro-rata basis for the year of commencement.
Holiday entitlement for part-time staff is based on the number of days worked per week.
Life insurance
From the commencement of work with Holiday Extras, your life is automatically insured with the Sun Alliance Insurance Group for twice your annual salary for death in service. This payment will be made to the person(s) nominated by you as your next of kin.
Sickness and sick pay
Full-time staff qualify for 10 days Company Sick Pay after successfully completing the probationary period. In the first year of employment the sickness benefit is calculated on a pro-rata basis.
