Exciting Launch of the Staff Salary Sacrifice Scheme at the Nursery
We are delighted to announce the official launch of the Salary Sacrifice Scheme at the University of St Andrews Nursery.
This initiative is designed to provide significant benefits for our employees while enhancing support for our families. This scheme allows staff to make contributions towards their childcare costs at Saints Nursery through Salary Sacrifice, which can offer tax savings and increased financial flexibility.
Dr Helen Stuhr-Rommereim, Lecturer in Slavonic and Russophone Literatures and Cultures from the School of Modern Languages has already benefited from the scheme shared,
“The new salary sacrifice scheme makes a big difference with our monthly bills! We love Saints Nursery and we appreciate that they are working to make the wonderful care they provide more affordable and accessible for university staff.”
Claire Scott, Assistant Director (Children’s Services), of Saints Sport also commented on the importance of this initiative:
“The salary sacrifice scheme is an excellent way to offer financial support to parents, especially at a time when the cost of living continues to rise. We understand the pressures many families are facing, and this scheme provides meaningful savings, making childcare more affordable. We’re proud to support our staff and help ease some of the financial burden during these challenging times. I would like to extend our sincere thanks to the HR, Salaries, and Finance teams for their invaluable support in bringing this initiative to life. Their efforts in designing and implementing the scheme have been instrumental in ensuring its success.”
Anja Copland, Nursery Manager also shared her thoughts on the scheme.
“The Salary Sacrifice scheme has made a huge difference for our parents. With everyday costs placing a financial burden on many employees, getting support from their employer can help ease some of that stress. It’s wonderful to see how much this initiative has helped!
Of course, implementing the scheme wasn’t without its challenges, which we expected. But the patience and understanding from the parents made all the difference, and we’re so happy that we reached a positive outcome together.
As Claire has already mentioned, a huge thank you goes out to the HR, Salaries, and Finance teams for their incredible support throughout the process. Your efforts made it all possible!”
