Welcome to the NHS Shetland Holidays Salary Saving Programme

Thanks to this NHS Employee programme, all eligible and approved staff can book with Hays Travel, the UK’s largest independent travel agency, using a simple and affordable salary saving arrangement. With 45+ years of trusted service, Hays Travel offers a huge range of tailor-made holidays just for you, expert advice and full ATOL protection - and you can spread the cost monthly, straight from your gross salary and save.

What is a salary saving programme?

An agreement to reduce your gross entitlement to cash pay in exchange for a non-cash benefit — in this case over 12 months, for a holiday package (travel and accommodation). You save by NOT paying National Insurance and by not using credit arrangements or Credit Cards.

Eligibility Criteria 

The Holiday programme is available to permanent employees

Eligible employees are permanent employees and employees on a fixed term contract for a period of 12 months prior to being able to enter this benefit and you intend to remain with your Employer for the full length of the benefit period

You are eligible for a salary sacrifice benefit if you meet all the criteria below:

  • You are paid by the Employer through the Employer PAYE payroll
  • You are a substantive employee with a minimum of 12 months service, and you intend to remain with your Employer for the full length of the benefit period
  • You are at least 18 years old
