Salary Sacrifice
- Under a pensions salary sacrifice arrangement an employee gives up part of their cash salary in return for pension benefits
- Typically the employee's salary is reduced by the amount that they were previously paying as employee contributions to a pension scheme and the employer pays an equal amount to the pension scheme as an employer contribution
- Salary sacrifice results in cost savings on National Insurance contributions
- To introduce a salary sacrifice arrangement an employer needs to vary the terms of the employee's contract of employment
- As salary sacrifice involves a reduction to the employee's salary, it could have some disadvantages (though most of these can be avoided if the arrangement is set up carefully)
