How it works?
All YorkTest’s are a simple at-home finger prick blood test. Just one finger-prick blood sample is required with blood collection kits and instructions for use are issued from YorkTest with the kit box. Once the blood sample is taken and sent back to our laboratory, the results will be posted onto the employee’s online YorkTest Customer Wellness Hub account. The test is confidential. The reporting from this system will simply state that a non-descriptive “health screening” has been selected.
YorkTest’s we provide:
- Female Fertility Test
- Male Hormones Test
- Essential Health Check
- Food & Environmental Allergy Test
- Menopause Test
Set-up requirements
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 YorkTest as an Anytime Benefit.
How is it paid for
The Employer pays for the test and the employee repays your business over twelve equal monthly deductions from salary or if preferred, in one lump sum. 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).
