Welcome to the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust 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 a holiday package (travel and accommodation). You save approx. 20% by NOT paying National Insurance and your NHS Employee Pension contributions and by not using credit arrangements or Credit Cards.
