GEAB Employee Benefits

Updated: January 19, 2024

At GEAB, we believe in rewarding all the hard work our staff puts in every single day. We have a tailor-made benefits package to provide our employees with a great work-life balance, look after their health and to make sure they succeed in their career

Check out our employee benefits below.

Time to relax, enjoy and recharge

Holiday 

We provide 23 days’ holiday for every employee from the day they join us. In addition to the bank holidays, we grant every employee an additional 3 days’ holiday between the Christmas and New Year bank holidays to ensure that our team has a good break at the end of each year.

Non-Absence Day Off Bonus

Where an employee doesn’t take any sick leave during the year (minimum of 10 months of the year worked), they will receive 1 day of annual leave to use the following year. Alternatively, this can be substituted for the financial equivalent of 2 days’ pay.

Extra Time in December Off 

Targets will be set to have even more time off as paid leave in December. This is relevant to the core sales departments, and other roles will be reviewed.

Pay and perks  

Home broadband On Us 

We contribute up to £40 per month (paid quarterly) towards the employee’s home broadband cost. This is paid back via the expenses process, so long as the bill is for your home address.

Free On-Site Parking 

Our offices in Sunderland and Newcastle are easily accessible, conveniently located, and each provides free car parking on-site to all staff!

Recommend a Friend Bonus 

Where an existing employee refers a friend to work for GEAB, the referrer will receive a cash bonus once the person referred passes probation.

Employee Assistance Programme  

This is a specialist external service provided by Health Assured, which is available for all employees to call on if they need help with a wide range of matters. The service is available via a confidential freephone number or an app.

Fantastic Performance Incentives 

These can include cash prizes, high-value electrical items, and even more time off.

Free Fruit, Tea/Coffee & Energy Drinks

To keep you going during your busy day, we provide free fruit and caffeinated drinks, which are fully stocked every morning.

Access to Break-Out Area Games 

For when you need to recharge during your break, we have dedicated an area of our office for relaxing – which even includes a pool table!

After you pass your probation  

In addition to all the above, you will also receive:

Better You Self Development Fund  

GEAB will contribute up to £1,000 for any employee to undertake a training or development course which will improve their skills to benefit both themselves and GEAB.

Winter Health Check on Your Car 

To launch in October ’22, GEAB will arrange for a local garage to carry out a winter health check on the employee’s car during work hours.

Community Day 

Employees can take 1 day per calendar year to work with a charity of their choice to contribute to their community.

Pension & Financial Group Advice 

GEAB will arrange for an independent financial adviser to come into our offices every six months to offer free, no-obligation independent advice to help you make good use of your money.

Once You Have Been with GEAB for 1 Year

In addition to all the above, you will also receive:

Your GEAB’ Birthday’ gift 

Anniversaries should be celebrated. We ensure that all employees receive a nice gift on each of their work anniversaries, by way of a little ‘thank you’ for their work over the year.
