Identify potential risk factors
Health Screening helps identify potential risk factors for future poor health. As employees are an organisation’s most important asset it makes sense to promote access to a benefit which encourages them to proactively intervene in their health.
Make lifestyle changes
Early detection of illnesses or test results which prompt employees to make lifestyle changes which benefit their health, can significantly reduce both short- and long-term absenteeism.
A business that cares
Health screening demonstrates that a business cares about their staff and are dedicated to helping them stay healthy. Traditionally, Health Screenings cost in the region of £500 – £800+. Advances in technology combined with corporate discounts now means the cost now starts as little as £10 per month.
How it works
Employees choose the type of screening they require, and the provider will contact them to arrange an appointment. At the health screening, employees can expect a professional, reliable, private and confidential experience.
They will be invited into a private consulting room where staff will take measurements, blood pressure, a blood sample, and they may also perform an ECG. Employees can rest assured that the tests are painless, and they are not required to remove any clothing. All test results are confidential.
Set-up requirements
The employer confirms they wish to make the benefit available to employees and whether they wish to extend the provision to allow employees to add their spouse/partner. Most employers operate Health Screening as an Anytime Benefit.
How is it paid for?
The Employer pays for the Health Screening and the employee repays your business over 12 equal monthly deductions from salary. If the employee leaves during the repayment period any outstanding amount is recovered from the final salary.
Tax status
If operated through salary sacrifice then the employee saves NI at 8% or 2%, depending on their personal rate of tax and BIK charge applies. This benefit can also be facilitated as a Net deduction with no BIK (employee does not make NI savings).
