The Variety Workplace Giving Program is a simple yet powerful way for you and your employees to support Tasmanian children who are sick, disadvantaged or who have special needs.
Donations are automatically deducted from your employee’s salary before tax is applied, hence reducing their taxable income. The employee is entitled to an automatic tax deduction, whilst Variety gets the full value of the amount donated. This also reduces administration costs for Variety, helping us direct funds to where they are needed most!
More and more businesses are offering Workplace Giving as it demonstrates to employees, clients and customers that your business is community minded and committed to supporting the community. Workplace Giving is simple to set up with very little work involved by your company.
Promoting your participation in the Variety Workplace Giving program is easy. We can supply you with an information pack – or even come in and talk to your staff.
Matching your employee’s donation is a great way to demonstrate your business’ commitment and will encourage your employees to get on board and participate.
Would you give up the cost of a cup of coffee so a child can have the joy of their first bike? For the cost of your latte, $3.50 weekly donations will buy a child a new bike by year end!
85% of employees felt it was important to give back to the community through workplace giving and 74% of employees would prefer to give $5 a week over a year than a bulk amount.*
Workplace Giving provides your business with a rewarding, low cost way to make a difference in the community and it’s been shown to have a positive impact on your workforce as well! What’s more, the option of a matched donation from your company for each participating employee significantly increases the impact the Workplace Giving has for those in need.
Workplace Giving means having the power to make a real and meaningful difference to the lives of children who need it most.
We can supply you with:
We’ll provide you and your employees with regular information on the funds raised by your company and our grants and programs activity so you can see the impact that your contribution is making. Variety will actively engage your employees to be involved such as the team volunteering at the Variety Monster Book Fair!
Setting up a Workplace Giving Program is easy! Your Payroll team deducts the amount specified from the employee’s gross / pre-tax earnings. This deduction is made after calculating superannuation contributions but before deducting PAYG tax. This way the employee gets an immediate tax benefit. All modern payroll systems can facilitate Workplace Giving donations.
Upon each pay cycle, your Payroll will electronically transfer the donation from the employee to Variety in one simple transaction. There is very little extra work involved and there are no tax forms to complete. You will need to keep a copy of forms completed by your employees authorising you to make deductions from their pay and a record of the total deductions made from each employee’s pay.
Each time you transfer funds to Variety, an emailed remittance should be supplied to Variety for reconciliation.
We can help you with information, materials or come in and talk to your staff about setting it up, and how their donations will make a difference.
