Benefits of Working for Logistics UK
We value our employees and offer a wide range of benefits in return for their commitment. We recognise that no two employees are the same – everyone has different preferences and needs that change over time. Therefore, we are constantly looking at ways in which we can reward our employees to reflect their needs.
Check out the different ways we support our employees’ work-life balance!
Annual Leave
At Logistics UK, you will receive 25 days’ annual leave plus UK bank holidays. Logistics UK also has a Christmas Working Arrangement, whereby if you work one of the days between Christmas and New Year’s Day, you will receive the other two off – this in in addition to your regular annual leave entitlement!
Stakeholder Pension Scheme
The stakeholder pension scheme is managed by Legal & General Assurance Society and complies with the Government’s stakeholder pension arrangements. If you commit to making a contribution of at least 3%, Logistics UK will contribute 8%. For those that do not wish to contribute this amount, we offer an auto-enrolment scheme with contributions of 1% required.
Health Cash Plan
Logistics UK offers money-back towards your essential healthcare expenses, including optical treatments, dental treatments, therapy treatments and consultations through the BUPA health cash plan. You will also have access to a 24-hour worldwide GP telephone consultation service and special deals at UK health and fitness clubs. Upgrades to this plan are available at an additional expense.
Private Medical Insurance
Logistics UK offers its management staff (and their spouses/partner) the opportunity to join its private medical insurance scheme. Logistics UK pays the annual premium and those who join the scheme are liable for the tax on the rate charged. Family cover is available at the employee’s cost.
Health Screening
Logistics UK offers its senior management a contribution towards having a health assessment every three years at their GP’s surgery.
Life Assurance
Logistics UK’s Group Life Scheme will pay a cash lump sum of three times your annual salary on the event of your death. This lump sum will be paid to the person(s) you nominate.
