Holiday entitlements
The holiday year runs from 1 January to 31 December each year.
Flexible holidays - The Society operates a policy allowing employees to buy or sell up to 5 days holiday entitlement each year.
Pension Scheme - In line with government legislation, employees will be automatically enrolled into the Society’s pension scheme at a rate of 4% providing they meet the following criteria:
The Scheme is a qualifying pension scheme, which means it meets or exceeds the government’s new standards. Once you have been auto-enrolled you may wish to pay a higher % into the Scheme, and the Society will match your contribution up to 10.6% helping you save more towards your pension on a regular basis.
If you do not meet the eligibility criteria, you will not be automatically enrolled, but you may still join the Scheme (and receive the matched contribution from the Society) if you so decide.
Life assurance - Provided by the Society at 4 times your salary.
Private medical insurance - The Society’s Private Health Insurance is subsidised at 50% after the completion of 2 years continuous service and is 100% subsidised after 5 years continuous service, subject to the scheme rules.
Employee assistance programme – We’re proud to partner with Heath Assured, the UK and Ireland’s leading wellbeing provider, which provides free advice, information and counselling services for employees and their families. The helpline is available 24/7 and is completely confidential.
Eyecare Scheme - The Society covers the cost of employee eye tests and is registered in a Corporate Eyecare Scheme, which offers comprehensive savings on eye examinations, spectacles and contact lenses to all employees and their families.
Enhanced maternity and adoption pay - Following a qualifying period, maternity and adoption pay is paid at an enhanced rate, provided you return to work for at least 6 months following your leave.
Discounted travel cards and parking - West Midlands Travel and Centro cards, covering bus, tram and rail travel in a wide range of geographical areas are available to employees at a discounted rate. For those working at head office and who travel by car, the Society also offers interest free loans to pay for an annual parking permit (saving a significant amount compared to paying daily) over 12 monthly installments.
West Brom Staff Car Scheme - Subject to eligibility, employees can lease a new car for 24–36 months at a fixed monthly cost, which can work out significantly lower than if you’d funded the vehicle yourself. Apart from fuel, the West Brom Staff Car Scheme provides for everything.
The West Brom Social Club - An active and popular part of the Society, organising social events and activities at attractively discounted rates. This can include theatre trips, concert tickets, sporting events and many other attractions.
