Employee Assistance Programme
Every HML employee has access to an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which offers telephone support for a range of issues including medical, family, bereavement, legal, stress etc.
Childcare vouchers are taken out of an employee's salary before tax and National Insurance through something called 'salary sacrifice'.
This means that where they could have, for example, £700 in their pay cheque over the year, they can choose to get £1,000 of vouchers instead (though the exact amounts will depend on how much tax you pay).
These vouchers can be used to pay for nursery, preschool, a nanny or a childminder up until a child's 15th birthday.
