Finance giant Aviva has announced one-off payments to staff after acknowledging that the cost of living was a worry for many of its employees. The payments will range from £300 to £1,000 for employees earning up to £35,000.
The company said in a message to staff: "We've been thinking about what we can do to help our people, and so today we're announcing that we're giving our colleagues who earn £35,000 or less a one-off payment in October to help with rising energy costs. While we recognise that this won't benefit everyone, we want to focus the payment where we believe it will have the biggest impact.
"The one-off payment is based on salary and subject to normal deductions such as tax and national insurance. If you're eligible, you'll see the payment in your October payslip. Thresholds and payments based on full time equivalent - payments will be pro-rated for part time colleagues.
