We keep on top of key milestones for your employee benefits and work with our Payroll, HR and Workplace Pensions teams to deliver a streamlined, integrated and value adding service.
Designing Your Benefits
We provide advice and guidance on your benefits structure, legal requirements and market best practice. We can help you manage your benefits budget too.

Our award-winning Ink Benefits Tracker service helps you to manage your benefits package on an ongoing basis. We have quarterly touch points with our clients, as well as a detailed annual benefits review process.
Benefits Broking
We act as your insurance broker for a range of benefits including Private Medical Insurance, Group Life Assurance and Group Income Protection. We place over £150m of insurance into the market for our clients each year.
Benefits Providers
We work with a wide range of benefit providers, but we do our due diligence and make sure that we only recommend high-quality propositions to our clients. We regularly review existing suppliers and have a finger on the pulse to identify new providers and emergent market trends.
Benefits For All
Finding the right selection of benefits for your business can be tricky and one of the most important considerations is the demographic of your employees.

There is only one benefit that is a legal requirement, a Workplace Pension. Beyond that you have significant freedom and choice. A lot depends on the type of roles you have and people you employ, also your budget, your competitive environment and your understanding of what staff might value.

Not necessarily. You can have different benefits for different groups and job levels, but you must ensure there is no discrimination. You need to consider the different types of employee you have in your organisation, and ideal create a mix of benefits that suits as many people as possible.

It depends. Some benefits attract a Benefits in Kind liability, others do not. As a general rule, the premiums for healthcare related benefits are taxable (Private Medical Insurance, Health Cash Plans etc.), whereas the premiums for other insurances are not. Some benefits are very tax efficient, such as Workplace Pensions, the Ride to Work scheme and Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEVs) as they attract both Income Tax and National Insurance relief.
