​Five reasons why you should offer employee benefits 

Tax-Free Childcare - your latest update

​​

Additional orders

For any parents who miss the payroll cut-off date, your scheme contact can get in touch with us by phone or email (with the parent’s details) and ask us to raise an additional order. 
We’ll accept additional orders right up until 1 October, as long as you can get cleared payments to us, so we can award the vouchers by 4 October. 
Parents must have a voucher taken from their pay by 4 October, when the scheme closes to new entrants (and parents whose last voucher was over 12 months ago will become ineligible too).

Make sure you check out our new video blogs


Leading up to the childcare voucher scheme deadline, we’ve released six short videos, with the aim of educating parents and employers on their options before and after the deadline.   

Videos for you:


If any of your employees are currently on maternity or paternity leave and are already registered on the childcare voucher scheme, it’s a good idea to contact them and tell them how they can remain eligible.

There are a number of reasons why a parent may lose their eligibility for childcare vouchers. One of the main reasons is your working parents allowing more than 12 months to pass since their last childcare voucher.


To share with your employees:


The cost of childcare can take up a large chunk of your family budget, so make sure you use your childcare vouchers wherever possible. You can use your childcare vouchers in a variety of childcare settings, including breakfast clubs, after school ​clubs in term-time, and holiday clubs in in the school holidays.​

Corporate Governance Reporting

As part of the government’s corporate governance reform agenda, new draft regulations have been laid before Parliament, creating a range of new reporting requirements for UK companies. 
Large or medium sized companies (and those with more than 250 employees) must explain how directors have engaged with employees, with staff interests in mind, and how that has impacted on company decision making. The disclosure should be included in either the director’s report or the strategic report.
If approved by government, the new requirements will come into force for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2019. ​
If this information isn’t relevant to you, please pass it on to your Company Secretary.
