Benefits Eligibility

The criteria that determine whether an employee qualifies for certain benefits your company offers.

Understanding Company Benefits Eligibility with Each Person

Eligibility for employee benefits is crucial in helping employees understand the full value of their compensation package. Each Person, who has a strong focus on enhancing employee wellbeing, offers a diverse and comprehensive range of benefits that employees may be eligible for based on certain criteria, including their role, tenure, or type of employment. Here’s a closer look at how benefits eligibility works for some of our most popular offerings and what factors may influence access to these various benefits.

1. Salary Sacrifice Programs

We offer several salary sacrifice benefits, including Car Salary Sacrifice, Cycle to Work, Gym Membership, Technology, and Holiday Salary Sacrifice. These schemes enable employees to reduce their taxable income in exchange for benefits such as vehicle leases, bicycles, gym memberships, technology, and their dream holidays. Generally, employees must be on a permanent contract to participate in these schemes, as they require regular payroll deductions. Some employers may also set their own benefits eligibility such as a minimum tenure, often ranging from three to six months, to ensure that new hires have settled into their roles before taking on these commitments.

2. Healthcare Benefits and Marketplace Access

Our Healthcare Marketplace offers employees discounted access to a range of health and wellbeing services, such as dental and vision care, mental health support, and physiotherapy. Eligibility for these benefits often includes both full-time and part-time employees, although the budget you offer your employees may vary depending on the employee’s status and tenure. For instance, paid access to our comprehensive healthcare services may be available only to employees who have been with the company for a specified period, such as six months or a year, as an incentive for retention.

3. GP On Demand and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)

Our GP On Demand and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) are designed to offer immediate support for employees’ health and wellbeing, including mental health resources, confidential counselling, and virtual GP consultations. These benefits are often extended to all employees upon joining the company, as they are critical resources that can help employees manage work-life balance, stress, and any health concerns. Full-time and part-time employees typically have equal access to these services, but contractors or temporary staff may have limited or no access, depending on your company’s benefits eligibility policy.

4. Reward and Recognition Programmes

We also provide benefits focused on employee recognition and rewards, including milestone rewards for work anniversaries, digital thank-you ecards, and a series of saving schemes on our shop. These benefits are generally available to all employees, as recognition is an important part of workplace culture that supports employee engagement across all levels and roles. However, some companies may tie larger milestone rewards to specific tenure benchmarks, such as five-year or ten-year anniversaries, to celebrate long-term commitment.

5. Childcare and Family-Oriented Benefits

Eligibility for childcare-related benefits, like our popular Childcare Salary Sacrifice, often depends on an employee’s parental status and employment terms. Full-time employees are usually eligible, while part-time employees may receive pro-rated support. Family coverage is automatically provided as a healthcare benefit through our GP On Demand service, helping employees manage their families’ health needs as well.  

Each Person’s benefits are designed to be as inclusive as possible, with many benefits available from day one. However, eligibility specifics may vary by employer, and employees should consult their HR team or benefits portal to understand which benefits they qualify for and any associated requirements. By providing these diverse benefits, Each Person helps companies build a culture of support, inclusivity, and recognition, creating a more engaged and productive workforce
