TGI Friday's

The benefits offered by TGI Friday’s:

Pensions

A defined contribution (DC) pension scheme via the National Employment Savings Trust (Nest): staff save 5% of their salary and TGI Friday’s contributes 3%.
Managers and directors of operations can opt to save into a group personal pension (GPP), provided by Standard Life, which enables them to put aside 4% of their salary, which the employer matches. Executive team members can also use the GPP arrangement and contribute 5% while TGI Friday’s pays in 10%.

Protection

Following the acquisition of the UK franchise, members of the previous Whitbread pension have group life assurance as part of their legacy package; this has also been made available to all new employees.
Group income protection is provided on an employer-paid basis to 35 legacy senior leaders. This is not available for new staff.
Employer-paid personal accident insurance is provided to senior leaders.

Pay and bonuses

Managers and support centre staff are part of a bonus structure, paid on two occasions, in the summer and at the end of the year.

Health and wellbeing

Private medical insurance (PMI) is available on an employer-paid basis for executive and senior level employees, who can extend the provision to family members. A group of employees receive employer-paid family cover as part of a legacy package, however, this ceased for new employees several years ago. All other employees repay the difference in the premium.
The organisation can also add ineligible employees that undergo a sudden illness, to help them access treatment.
Critical illness insurance is provided for senior leaders on an employer-paid basis.
