Automatic pension enrolment
We want to give all our employees the opportunity to start to plan for their retirement therefore we offer a Group Personal Pension Plan operated by Scottish Widows.
All employees who are classed as ‘eligible’ under the Automatic Enrolment rules, will be automatically enrolled into our standard pension scheme after completion of 3 months service. Our minimum employee pension contribution is 4% of your salary and the Firm match this with a 4% employer pension contribution, which gives you an 8% total pension contribution.
We also offer employees the opportunity to enhance their pension contributions through pension salary sacrifice. This allows us to mutually agree to pay you differently and enables both the employee and employer to benefit from National Insurance (NI) savings. Not only do you gain from savings on your NI but you also benefit as we pass on 50% of the savings we make on employer NI to you.
Life insurance – Death in service
Admittedly not the most cheerful benefit to draw your attention to. However, this is a significant benefit that could provide financial security (equivalent to 3 times your salary) to your nominated beneficiaries in the event of your death during your employment with Eric Robinson Solicitors.
All permanent employees (under 65 years old) are automatically entitled to this benefit on commencement, so you have the benefit of the peace of mind and protection offered by this scheme from your very first day until you reach the age of 65.
Discounted legal services
Our employees may be entitled to discounted legal services depending on the nature and extent of the matter and we may also be able to offer discounts to close family members who you refer to us.
