Contractual Benefits Explained
Some benefits are contractual, which means when you select them, you agree to a contract for a fixed period of time (for example, 12 or 18 months).
By signing up, you’re committing to pay for the benefit for the full contract term, even if your personal circumstances change.
What this means for you
- You agree to the benefit for a set number of months when you select it
- Payments usually continue for the full term
- You may not be able to cancel or make changes once the contract has started
Selecting the benefit again
In some cases, there may be rules or limits on how often you can select a contractual benefit. For example, you might only be allowed to choose a benefit once per year or have limits on how many items you can select (such as bikes).
These rules depend on your employer’s policy and the benefit provider.
Things to check before you choose
- The length of the contract
- Whether you’ll need to pay the full cost if you leave the company
- Any limits on re‑selecting the benefit in the future
If you’re unsure about the terms or what happens if your circumstances change, you can review the Benefit information and Policy Documents by going to My Benefits and selecting the relevant benefit. Alternatively, please contact your HR or Admin team before making your selection.
