Death in benefits scheme

When losing someone close to you, having extra support can be greatly needed at what is a very difficult time.

With this in mind, the Trust would like to make you aware of the ‘Death in benefits‘ scheme.

The scheme is set up to give out a payment to a family member, or nominated person, of a member of staff who dies whilst employed with the Trust.

Karen Barry, Head of Human Resources, said: “This extremely beneficial scheme is available to all employees and is free to join.  The employee needs to be a member of the scheme to benefit.

“It only requires a small donation, equivalent to a one-off payment of one hour’s pay of basic salary, in the unfortunate event of a member registered on the scheme passing away.”

For more information or for the registration form to apply, please visit East24.

If you have any questions regarding the’ Death benefit’ scheme please contact a member of the HR services team by email on hrservices@eastamb.nhs.uk  or by phone on 01234 243200.
