Dear Team,
Another financial year has ended, and as I look back and reflect on the past 12 months, I would like to take the time to thank you for the fantastic job you have all been doing and for all your hard work, commitment, and invaluable contributions in efforts to make our homes a superb place to live or work.
The last 24 months have been challenging and we are currently working through our homes revival plan which was introduced to strengthen our homes support and hopefully put us back in the strong position we were in before the pandemic.
Pay increases
In October 2021, every member of the Adept team benefitted from a pay increase to combat the rising cost of living. This increase took our rates of pay to an industry high and I am pleased to announce a further pay increase from 1st April 2022. We have decided that moving forward we will put all resources into increasing pay rather than uncertain periodic bonuses i.e., CQC GOOD BONUS, which will be discontinued from 1st April 2022.
Adept Benefits Scheme
In October last year we invested in ‘Adept Benefits,’ our all-new bespoke employee benefits package designed with you, our team in mind, so you can enjoy great discounts on high street shopping, groceries, travel plans, dining out and much more. As part of the team, you can also access a great range of benefits available for you to use and save money including services to help improve your health and wellbeing. This has already proved to be popular with many of the team making great savings, so if you have not already, log on at www.adeptbenefits.com to find out more.
Unused holidays accruals
Many of our team have been unable to take their full holiday entitlement due to the pandemic. The good news is we were able to provide a solution which meant you still benefited through electing to covert to cash, pension or simply roll on your entitlement.
Refer a friend scheme
I hope that existing team members would recommend us as an employer to their friends.
As a member of the team who refers a friend or family member to work at Adept in accordance with this scheme, you will be eligible to receive £250 as a thank you.
Pay Day Advance
We offer you the benefit of a Pay Day Advance of up to £1,000. We do not ask for a reason, charge no fee or interest and you will pay no benefit-in-kind tax under current legislation.
Winter Loyalty Bonus
A one-off payment from Leicestershire County Council where the team has been continuously employed by Moat House between 13 December 2001 and 28 February 2022 will be included April’s pay.
The value of the one-off payment is:
- £500 for an employee working on average 20 hours or more per week
- £250 for an employee working on average under 20 hours per week
Thank you once again for your commitment and invaluable contributions toward helping us provide a superb place to live or work.
