Employee Paid Health Care Cash Plans

We know that when it comes to providing health cover for your employees, budget can often be the deciding factor. However, even if your company isn’t in a position to fund it, you can still give your employees convenient access to affordable health cover.

The Good All Round employee paid cash plan costs from £2.28 per week and, in return, your employees can claim tax free cash back towards a wide range of everyday, essential health care costs. As an added bonus, your employees will have online access to exclusive member benefits including a 24-hour GP service and online and high street discounts.

Giving your employees access to affordable health cover is a great way to support their health and wellbeing, plus you could make things even easier by deducting their policy premiums from their salary.
