Employee Benefits @ Programmed - Leave policies, health insurance, and JB Hi-Fi discounts

Welcome to the third edition of Employee Benefits @ Programmed!

This month, we’re excited to highlight the following benefits available to Programmed employees:

• Public Holiday Substitution Guideline
• Bupa Health Insurance (Australia)
• JB Hi-Fi (New Zealand)

This will be a regular update, so stay tuned for more exciting benefits and tips each month.

Public Holiday Substitution Guideline

Earlier this year, we introduced the Public Holiday Substitution Guideline across Facility Management, Property Services & Group, designed to support the diverse cultural and personal values of our workforce. This initiative empowers eligible employees to substitute a designated public holiday with an alternate day that holds personal significance to them, subject to manager approval.

Participation is entirely voluntary and managed locally between the employee and their line manager. To apply, simply complete the Public Holiday Substitution Request Form, obtain manager approval, and ensure the substitute day is taken within three months of the original public holiday. No payroll action is required, and the exchange is like-for-like, meaning no additional payments or benefits apply.

For more information about this initiative please see the Public Holiday Substitution Guideline, available on the intranet via the below link.

We're thrilled to provide this as an option and hope it allows you to celebrate significant dates and holidays in a way that reflects your values, culture and personal beliefs.
