Our success lies in the passion and dedication of our incredible teams.

We have developed our 'Benefits @ Break' package to support our staff's physical and mental health, work-life balance, financial well-being and more. Here are just some of the benefits that all Break staff have access to:

 

Cash plan

Help with medical expenses for you and your family

Cash plan schemes enable you to claim money back on everyday medical expenses such as prescriptions, private appointments, physio, therapies, eye tests and glasses. Staff also have access to Virtual GP, SkinVision, mProve Yourself, Gym discounts and Medicash Extras.

Employee assistance programme (EAP)

Counselling, life coaching or help with debt problems

Because we care about our employees, we decided to invest even more in your wellbeing. We have partnered with Health Assured and are pleased to introduce our EAP to help you deal with personal problems that might adversely impact your health and wellbeing.

This means that you and your immediate family have access to assessment, short-term counselling and referral services, such as employee counselling, financial and debt counselling.
 

Enhanced annual leave/annual leave purchase

Here, have some extra well-earned time off work

Even though Break is the most awesome place to work, we recognise the importance of taking time out and having a healthy work-life balance, which is why we totally understand that you may look forward to some well-earned time off.

We already offer enhanced annual leave entitlements, starting at 23 days per annum (plus bank holidays). But what better way to reward hard work and dedication than to add extra days off to our employees’ annual leave entitlement? We will add one day to your annual leave entitlement, effective the holiday year following your 2, 5, 10, 15 and 20-year anniversaries.

Pension salary sacrifice

Break makes a pension salary sacrifice scheme available for employees to provide for their retirement.

This means employees may choose to make their pension contribution via salary sacrifice, or may increase their portion of their pension contribution via salary sacrifice, thus reducing the amount of tax and NI that they pay for the chosen duration of the period of salary sacrifice.

Family-friendly policy

Break appreciates the importance of family, so this policy familiarises our employees with the structures Break has put in place to ensure all our employees can contribute to the care of their dependants.

We are introducing occupational maternity and parental pay, details of which can be found in the policy. In addition to the Maternity and Adoption leave and pay offering to our employees, the newly introduced Neonatal care leave and pay provides time off to qualifying employees for the neonatal care of their babies. We also make provision for foster parents, which matches the occupational parental leave.

Life assurance

Making sure your loved ones are looked after

Break appreciates that we all want our loved ones to be provided for with immediate expenses in the unfortunate event of our death, which is why, on successful completion of their probationary period, Break employees are eligible to join the Break Free Life Assurance Scheme.

This will provide a benefit to their nominee in the event of their death, equal to three times their annual salary or 3x£15,000, whichever is greater.

Cycle-to-work scheme

Save money and get fit on your way to work

The cycle-to-work scheme offers a great way to buy a bicycle, by way of a salary sacrifice.

Simply head to Cyclescheme and apply for the cost of your bicycle and, provided the purchase will not result in your earnings falling below the National Minimum Wage, Break will authorise the application and pay the invoice.Once the invoice is paid, you will receive a voucher from Cyclescheme, then you can buy your bike from any participating retailer

Tech scheme

A great way to get your hands on some new tech!

Techscheme provides a great way for you to choose from thousands of products, including laptops, phones, smart health, white goods, gaming, photography, by way of a salary sacrifice.

Blue Light Card

Thousands of local and national discounts

Because we all enjoy a good discount, Break staff have free access to the Blue Light Card, which provides you with thousands of amazing discounts online and on the high street. You can buy groceries and much more.

Break are proud to have achieved the We invest in people, Gold accreditation.
