What benefits can I access as a Shropshire Council employee?

We offer employees a range of staff benefits in partnership with our health and wellbeing partner Vivup, these are designed to improve your physical, financial and mental health. To access your staff benefits, you need to register on shropshire.vivup.co.uk. The platform is mobile friendly and can also be accessed on your personal devices.

Employees can access a huge range of discounts across the UK’s major retailers including technology, fashion, supermarkets, travel and much more! In addition, employees can also access a useful help and support section with information to help with some of life's ups and downs.

In addition to the lifestyle savings, employees are able to participate in the following salary sacrifice schemes:

  • Car Scheme
  • Bike Shop (coming soon)
  • Cycle to Work
  • Home and Electronics (coming soon)

Please see the Shropshire Council Employee Benefits Vivup portal for further information.

Agency workers are not eligible for the Shropshire Council Employee Benefits and cannot therefore register on the Vivip portals. Benefits will vary for employees who are on teachers’ terms and conditions.

What is the employee car salary sacrifice scheme?

The council’s Employee Car Salary Sacrifice Scheme is administered by Tusker and can be accessed via the council’s employee benefit platform.

Through this employee benefit, you can offset some of your pre-tax salary in exchange for the use of a brand new car, with a fixed monthly amount taken from your salary. You will also save on National Insurance and Tax contributions.

The scheme includes a range of fully electric, hybrid and petrol vehicles which will hopefully suit a range of budgets and needs. You are able to set your annual mileage limit and choose the term of the agreement. Each quote will be tailored to the individual applicant and quotes are available directly via the Tusker portal.

As with all financial commitments, it is the individual’s responsibility to assess affordability and to consider how changes to personal circumstances may impact upon affordability.

Please refer to the FAQ's for further information, including eligibility criteria. If you have any further questions, then please contact Tusker directly via 0333 400 7431 or email EETeam@tuskerdirect.com
