Employee benefits

This page shows you how to offer benefits beyond salary — and let employees choose and claim them.

Flexible benefits

A flexible benefits scheme gives each employee a benefit allowance they can allocate across options you offer (for example transport, meals, or medical), often with tax advantages.

1. Set up the benefit components your scheme offers (in payroll settings).
2. An employee submits a benefit application choosing how to split their allowance.
3. They submit benefit claims (with proof) to receive them, and the amounts flow into their pay.

Health insurance

Record each employee’s health insurance details against their profile, so cover is tracked and can be reflected in payroll where relevant.

Other additions to pay

Beyond standard benefits, you can add one-off or recurring extras through payroll:

• Additional salary — a bonus or allowance for a period.
• Employee incentive and retention bonus — reward and retention payments.

These attach to the employee and appear on the right salary slip.

Tip

Decide which benefits are taxable and which aren’t before you launch a scheme — set the components up correctly once, and every payslip handles the tax right automatically.
