Staff whose employers are clients of engagement business, Reward Gateway, will be able to buy technology products from Currys PC World directly out of their salaries in interest-free instalments as a result of a new partnership. Employers are able to decide the maximum amount employees can spend, what types of products they can buy and what time period they can spread the cost over. Phil Noble, digital product manager at Reward Gateway, said:
‘Our research showed that the traditional payroll technology benefits on offer are cumbersome, slow, incur heavy admin or delivery costs and often don’t offer the latest products; but with the launch of SmartTech, employees can order the latest technology, which are then automatically subtracted from their monthly pay packet.’
