Attwaters Jameson Hill has always believed that investing in our employees just makes good business sense. After all, employees that feel overworked and underappreciated are more likely to take their talents elsewhere.
We’re proud to offer all of our staff a comprehensive benefits package that helps us to look after their financial, physical and mental wellbeing and ensure they have the support they need to give their all at work and develop their career.
Our financial benefits
There is more to life than money, but we all need it to live comfortably and achieve our aspirations in life. At Attwaters Jameson Hill, we provide:
- A competitive salary
- Firm-wide and fee-earner bonus schemes
- Contributory pension scheme
- Annual season ticket loans
- Referral rewards for successfully referring new recruits to the firm
- Access to Mintago, a comprehensive employee financial wellbeing platform.
Mintago
With Mintago, our employees have access to a wide range of financial wellbeing, education and support materials, salary sacrifice benefits and even discounts at a wide range of retail stores including Amazon, Curry’s, M&S and more.
- Pension Salary Sacrifice
Earn a little extra money each month while keeping your total pension contributions the same! Your gross pay will look a little lower, meaning that you pay less National Insurance. As a result, your overall take-home pay is higher. - Gym Benefit
Pay for your gym membership through salary sacrifice and save 10% - 40% in the process. - Childcare
With access to YellowNest’s salary sacrifice childcare scheme, you could make huge savings on nursery costs for children up to five years of age. - Cycle to work
A cycle-to-work scheme is a tax-efficient employee benefit that allows the purchase of bicycles and cycling equipment through salary sacrifice, promoting a healthier and eco-friendly commute to work. - Lifestyle benefits
Pay for lifestyle subscriptions, including Headspace, Disney+ and Spotify, through salary sacrifice – saving you between 12% and 40%. - Retail discounts
Save 2% - 10% on a range of major retail brands, all year round.
