What is workplace giving?
In today’s workforce, employees expect corporate social responsibility from their employer. One of the simplest ways to show your employees that you share and encourage their values, is to become an Emerge Australia workplace giving partner.
When you become a workplace giving partner, your employees can give small, regular donations from pre-tax pay.
Donations are collected via a simple payroll deduction, making it easier for them to continue their support and to see maximum tax benefits. Many workplace giving partners also choose to match their employee contributions dollar-for-dollar as a way to show their support and solidarity.
The administration on both ends is minimal, and the consistency of the donations helps Emerge Australia plan for the future with a greater level of confidence.
