Pension
As a Solaglas Windowcare employee we want to help you look after your future, and that’s why we offer a Stakeholder Pension Scheme. The Saint-Gobain Stakeholder Pension Plan offers:
• A choice of contribution levels.
• A 4% contribution from the Company to your personal pension for the first 5 years of your continuous employment, rising to 6% thereafter, providing you contribute at least 4% of your pensionable earnings.
• Life assurance, which provides a lump sum on death in service of 4 x your pensionable earnings for employee’s families.

Tax-free Share Plan
If you want to invest in us and share in the success of the Company, we offer you the opportunity to save tax by investing in Saint-Gobain shares and the longer we stay together the more you can earn:
• You won’t pay any income tax or national insurance if you keep the shares within the plan for 5 years.
• The Company will give you one free matching share for every four you buy!

Share Save Plan
The share save plan helps to make your money grow! Offers to join the development share plan are made annually and schemes vary each year. The 2008 plan worked by multiplying employee’s investments and Saint-Gobain also made a matching contribution of 50% of employee’s personal investment.

Recommend a Friend
As many of our employees enjoy working for us we operate a scheme at Solaglas Windowcare encouraging employees to recommend their friends and nominate them for positions within the organisation. As a thank you for your commitment in helping us to become market leaders, the Company will reward you with up to £250 for your recommendations.*

Car Parking
At Solaglas Windowcare we understand that it already costs you money to attend work, with the rising petrol prices and the cost of public transport. We don’t want you to have to worry about additional costs so we have free car parking facilities at our Head Office in Hellaby.

Shift Working
We run our call centre 24 hours a day, and have a strong Customer Service Team committed to providing our customers with an excellent service. To achieve that work life balance we operate a number of shifts, day and night and there are plenty of part time opportunities.

Shift Bonus
As the Company operates a 24 hour emergency service, we offer a weekly shift bonus to our shift workers in order to reward your flexibility.

Incentive Bonus and Team Sports
We want to encourage high performers and offer additional bonus schemes for our Customer Services Advisors to help you stay motivated and provide outstanding customer service.

Productivity Bonus
Solaglas Windowcare has a productivity scheme designed to reward Service Engineer’s for the number of jobs successfully completed. Service Engineer’s are eligible to participate in the appropriate productivity scheme for your grade.

Call Out Payment
Service Engineer’s are expected, where required, to undertake call out coverage on a rostered basis on a minimum of one week in four. A Service Engineer providing call out coverage will receive a standby payment to compensate for the disruption involved in maintaining availability and excellent call out rates are paid for each emergency job attended.

Flexibility Bonus
Service Engineer’s within our Projects department are required to work weekends and bank holidays to meet business needs. Service Engineer’s working within the Projects department will therefore receive a flexibility payment to compensate for the disruption involved in maintaining availability.*

Scheduled Job Bonus
The scheduled job bonus is payable on a completed completion visit which will take your arrival home, or to your next job, over the 2 hours following your end of shift. i.e. 7.30pm on a Solaglas Windowcare contract. This is payable in addition to overtime.

Working Away Supplement
For our Hellaby based Service Engineers who participate in a working away rota and our outlying Service Engineers who are occasionally required to visit the Head Office in Hellaby, a subsistence allowance is provided for each day you are required to stay away from home.*

Tools Insurance
At Solaglas Windowcare we understand replacing tools is costly so for peace of mind we offer a discounted insurance cover scheme for your tools.

What other great benefits can I expect?
All Service Engineers whose designated centre of operation is within the inner/outer London area as defined within the contract will receive an allowance to reflect market conditions.

We want to make it easy for you to come to work and we want to give you the means to provide our customers with a professional service; that’s why all our Service Engineers are presented with a Company van, mobile telephone, personal digital assistant (PDA) and uniform upon commencement of employment.
