Newable Benefits

At Newable, we strongly believe in rewarding high performance. This is right at the heart of who we are as an employer: we recognise success, we provide progression on merit and we try to make sure that employees are given a fair share of the financial success of the company as we strongly believe in the value of individual and collective contribution.

Your salary package will reflect your experience and role; however, we are also aware that every little helps. We therefore have a range of benefits we believe help to enhance your salary package, and make Newable a better place to work:

Pay & Recognition


Pay

We will review your salary each year, however, it is not guaranteed that you will receive a salary increase.

Company Pension Scheme

Newable will double match employees’ pension contributions up to 8%. Meaning if you contribute 4% of your salary, Newable will contribute 8%. Your contributions are paid on a salary sacrifice basis, which means before tax deductions, therefore increasing the value of your take home pay, as you’ll be paying lower National Insurance contributions (NICs).

Annual Pension Reviews

You have the opportunity to receive one-to-one advice from a pension adviser on an annual basis. They will provide advice and examine how well your fund is performing.

Discretionary Bonus Scheme

Newable pays a discretionary annual bonus based on your business area’s performance.

Refer a Friend Bonus

Newable will pay a referral fee of £2000 if you introduce an employee to Newable provided they successfully pass their probation.

Recognition Programme

Our Annual Values Award programme rewards and recognises ‘above and beyond performance’ in line with Newable’s five values: Dream Big, Get Going, Grow Together, Always Improve and Pass It On.

Share Option Scheme

A Company Share Option Scheme is available for all Newable Partnership employees, so that all employees are rewarded for their contribution to Newable's growth.

Training & Development


£500 for Professional Development and Wellbeing Initiatives

Newable will provide £500 each year towards your professional development; this will include personal and wellbeing initiatives to enhance your mental health and wellbeing.

Professional Qualifications

Newable will sponsor you to gain a professional qualification that will help you grow and develop in your role and for future roles. This is discretionary and is dependent on budget and Line Manager approval.

Study Leave

You are able to request study leave of up to ten days per annum to help you achieve your professional qualification.

Annual Memberships

Your professional development is important to us. Newable will pay for your annual professional membership subscription to approved and relevant professional bodies.

E-learning workshops

We provide e-learning workshops which focus on understanding and improving your mindset and interactions at work.

Private Medical Insurance

We will provide you with single cover for private medical insurance through Vitality on a no medical history basis. The single cover premium is paid by Newable, however, as this is a taxable benefit there would be a tax charge through payroll each month. If you are a basic rate tax payer under the age of 65 years, the annual tax charge is £110.02 and for the higher tax payer £220.05 on a single premium of £550.14 paid by Newable. If you are a basic rate tax payer over the age of 65 years, the annual tax charge is £220.06 and for the higher tax payer £440.12 on a single premium of £1,100.30 paid by Newable. If you do not wish to join the PMI scheme you can opt out. If you wish to add family members through salary deduction, the rates are as follows: Couple = 2x Single Rate, Family = 2.5x Single Rate, Single Parent = 1.5x Single Rate.

Life Assurance

Life can be unpredictable. If the worst happens, we have a policy in place which will pay a tax-free lump sum equivalent to four times your annual salary to your nominated beneficiary. The cover will be in place whilst you are an employee and the cessation age is the state pension age.

Company Sick Pay

After you have successfully competed your probation, you are entitled to receive enhanced sick pay for a given period depending on your length of service. For example, if you have between one and five years’ service, you will receive 13 weeks full pay.

Group Income Protection Insurance

If you suffer with an injury or illness that lasts more than six months, and you are unable to work, Newable will continue to pay you after the company sick pay provision finishes. Newable will pay 75% of your salary, less statutory sick pay for up to five years to help you through this difficult time.

Health & Wellbeing


Annual Flu Jab

Seasonal flu vaccinations are funded by Newable and you can claim through expenses using your local chemist.

Eye Tests and Eyewear Contribution

Newable will cover the cost of an eye test for you up to £30. If you need to wear glasses or contact lenses for VDU work, then Newable will cover this cost up to £100.

Wellbeing and Mental Health Days

You can use up to 7 hours of your Volunteering Hours allowance (prorated for part-time people) to engage in wellbeing initiatives designated to nurture your mental health. For example, you could book the time off to attend a wellbeing workshop, fitness activity/event or health assessment check.

Employee Assistance Programme

We provide an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) with a 24-hour help line that offers you confidential, short-term counselling and a follow up service to help you with personal and work-related problems. The service is free of charge, completely confidential and available to both you and your family members.

Annual Health Assessments

In partnership with Nuffield Heath, we offer annual health assessments at a discounted rate for you and your family members. Nuffield Health experts use non-invasive tests to determine the state of your current health and provide advice on how to improve and maintain good health.

Enhanced Family friendly Leave and Pay
