Staff who wish to use childcare vouchers after June 2015 will have to switch to the University’s new voucher provider or sign up with a UK Government-provided scheme when it commences in autumn.
Options and actions
Colleagues who wish to stay with the University’s Childcare Voucher Scheme will have to re-register with the new voucher provider, Edenred, which will replace Sodexo.
New University Childcare Voucher Scheme members must also register with Edenred.
The registration window is 1 May-12 June.
From the autumn, staff will have the option of joining the UK Government’s new Tax-free Childcare scheme.
Once Tax-free Childcare commences, other existing schemes will be closed to new members.
Further information
Further details about the Childcare Voucher Scheme and Tax-free Childcare, including eligibility requirements, can be found online.
In the coming weeks, Human Resources will provide further information on timescales and guidance on how to re-register with Edenred.
In the meantime, staff can email queries to HR Business Systems.
