Age Cymru's staff benefits

 

Staff joining Age Cymru will receive excellent benefits - read below to find out more.

Pension scheme

All Age Cymru staff are able to join a group personal pension plan (GPP) company pension scheme. 

The charity believes it is important that employees are able to afford to make a provision for their future.

In order to encourage this and to ensure that employees have the opportunity to maximise their pension benefits, Age Cymru currently contributes 8% of the pensionable salary to the GPP and we ask employees to contribute a minimum of 3%.  

Age Cymru contributes an extra 1% if employees contribute 4% or more. 

Life Assurance is equal to 2 x Salary which is enhanced to 4 x Salary if the employee is a member of the Pension Scheme.

Flexible working

Age Cymru operates a Flexible Working Scheme which employees choose the time they begin and finish work around a set core time during each working day. 

Annual leave

The annual leave entitlement for full-time employees is 27 days (pro-rata for part-time staff).  The 27 days annual leave entitlement is made up as follows: 
  •   24 employee choice annual leave days.
  •   3 fixed annual leave days to be taken between 25 December and 1 January.
