The 6% pension contribution by the employer is compulsory. However, we
want our employees to maximise their pension pot and therefore, encourage
employees to contribute towards their pension fund. Should an employee
wish to make a contribution, they are advised to notify the HR Department of
the percentage they wish to contribute. The HR Department will then notify
the finance department of the deduction to be made from your salary.
Good to Know
• The Synexus Pension is provided by Momentum
• Synexus makes a contribution of 5% of your basic salary
• Employees may also make an additional contribution should they
wish
Overtime
We recognise the importance of having an effective work-life balance.
However, we understand it may be necessary to work over your normal
working hours to ensure a task is completed.
Overtime should only be completed in exceptional circumstances, with prior
approval from your Line Manager and it should by no means become the
norm.
All employees, with the exception of those above the threshold, will be paid
overtime for hours worked in excess of normal hours of work. Please note
that travel time to and from meetings would not normally be approved.
It is important for employees to take adequate breaks when working
overtime. Employees are expected to take a minimum 30 minutes unpaid
break after every 6 hours of work.
