At Big Fish, we’re always looking to improve. We continually review every aspect of our service to understand where and how we can do things better.
Our contractors and the desire to understand what matters to them are at the heart of our endeavours.
So, we’ve been doing our research, and at the beginning of 2024, we set ourselves a strategic initiative to better understand and cater to the needs and desires of our valued contractors. An essential element of this is the support we provide to our contractors beyond payroll, which is why we’ve introduced our new and exclusive employee rewards package, Oyster Rewards.
Much More Than Just Contractor Payroll
Oyster Rewards is a unique package of lifestyle benefits exclusively tailored and available to Big Fish contractors. It is guaranteed to help them make smarter financial and lifestyle decisions.
Delivering an exceptional range of enhanced financial, lifestyle, and well-being benefits, Oyster Rewards provides contractors with an exclusive, convenient, and cost-effective suite of services unrivalled in the marketplace.
Fuel Card
One of a contractor’s biggest expenses is fuel, especially when travelling to different sites or to a temporary place of work. Our fuel card, which provides two weeks of interest-free credit terms and up to 4p per litre off pump prices, helps alleviate some of that cost.
Medical cover and cash back scheme
Queues, waiting times, and time off for doctors and medical appointments are contractors’ worst enemies. Our medical cash-back scheme helps eradicate that problem by giving contractors 24/7 GP access, mental health support, and counselling, usually only available to permanent employees.
High street loyalty rewards and discounts
The cost of living has risen sharply in recent years, and even the most basic food or household items can seem expensive. Oyster Rewards delivers discounts off gift cards at over 80 retail shops and restaurants, as well as gym memberships, cinema tickets, hotel bookings, and family attractions such as Legoland.
IFA and specialist mortgage advisory support
As interest rates have risen, good mortgage deals have become harder to find, especially for contractors. Oyster Rewards offers contractors free access to regulated independent financial advisors (IFAs) who provide expert guidance and advice on the best mortgages for the self-employed.
Supporting Every Aspect of Your Contractor Lifestyle
At Big Fish, we see payroll as only a part of the service we provide to contractors.
We want to support contractors in every aspect of their contracting careers and give them all the support necessary to ensure their success. Providing lifestyle and well-being support and guidance gives contractors the peace of mind needed to concentrate 100% on their work.
Benefits for our clients as well as our contractors
The benefits of Oyster Rewards extend well beyond your contractors to you and your clients.
By prioritising the welfare and satisfaction of your contractors, you enhance your reputation, attract top talent, improve productivity and cultivate long-term partnerships. In an increasingly competitive market, Oyster Rewards is a strategic differentiator that drives success and sustainability for you and your contractors.
