How does the
scheme operate?
Salary Sacrifice
As the employer, you purchase the products
that have been selected by your employees
and fund the purchase through the employee
salary sacrifice. (We are able to provide third party
funding if required.)
Website Development
Stormfront will create your benefits website with
your corporate branding. Employees will be able
to register directly onto that site.
The website will list all agreed products and
show the savings derived from the salary
sacrifice. Insurance and warranty can also be
provided if required.
Timing
The timing and duration of the selection window
will be decided by you. As employees place
their orders, they will be required to sign a Salary
Sacrifice Agreement which will be produced
by the website. Once the enrolment window
has closed, it will be up to you to approve all
employee orders.
Our systems will manage the order approval and
order reconciliation process as well as the Salary
Sacrifice Agreement.
Purchasing
Our website will manage the process of raising
a consolidated order. It can also, if required,
feed external HR and benefits systems, as well
as benefit in kind reporting.
A purchase order for the products will then be
placed with Stormfront.
Term of Scheme
Scheme terms are typically 12 or 24 months.

Structures
There are a number of different ways of
structuring this employee benefits scheme.

Pay, Rent and Refresh and BYOD. Employee orders are sent for
HR approval.
Tax and NIC savings may be available to the
employee and the employer depending on what
structure is used.

FOUR

FIVE
Once orders are approved,
goods are despatched quickly.
The Platform
A dedicated website will be created for your organisation and
employees will be able to order directly from this website at a
time selected by you.
It will be up to you to decide on the range of products and maximum value of benefit spend for each
employee. Their personal pages will only show items up to this value. This ensures that the employee can
select from all items rather than view some which they are not eligible.

The website will be designed to your requirements - either linking in to your existing benefits portal, or
creating a new direct link.

Security and confidentiality are of prime importance and we design the website and the system to ensure
that this is at the highest level.

If third party funding is required, the associated costs could be incorporated into the product costs, to keep
the scheme cost neutral to the employer.

Insurance is available for all products on a voluntary or compulsory basis.

 The Products
Along with the full range of Apple products, there is an
exciting range of accessories: headphones, speakers, cases,
and more; to compliment every employee’s order.

With great names including Thule, Bose, Bang and Olufsen, Panasonic, Sonos, Parrot and many more, your
employees will have an enormous range of quality products to choose from.
Demand for Apple products has never been so high.
Employees will perceive this benefit as having real value
and can be used to motivate and reward staff.
