Health & Safety
Offering a cash allowance in lieu of a company car does not mean that you are increasing your risks in terms of Health & Safety. Our service ensures that effective controls are in place to give you piece of mind.
From our many years of experience in this field, some important points to note are:
- As an employer, your responsibilities in relation to your employees' Health & Safety remain equally important, irrespective of whether your employees drive a company car or their own car on business.
- From our experience, concerns over Health & Safety are all too often a result of bad practice with too many organisations not having effective controls in place. There is no inherent risk with offering a cash allowance provided it is done properly.
- Part of the Cash Allowance Service is to review your car scheme policies and practice including Health & Safety issues and make recommendations so that it is clear that you and your employees take your Health & Safety responsibilities seriously.
- Taking the car scheme as a whole, CAS significantly reduces administration. However it is essential that effective Health & Safety controls and procedures are in place for all employees who drive on company business.
In summary, The Cash Allowance Service allows you to achieve significant savings in terms of tax savings and reduced administration whilst also giving you piece of mind that you have effective Health & Safety controls in place.
