How does payroll giving work?

Below, we’ve set out a simple three-step process for you to follow.

1. Employees ask their employers to enter into a workplace giving arrangement;

2. Employees nominate ALSOCare & Benevolent Society as their preferred charity, and that they wish to make a regular donation (for example, fortnightly or monthly) as well as the donation amount.

3. The donation is paid directly by the employer to {also}.

The amount you decide to donate to {also} is automatically deducted from your salary before tax.

Does my employer offer this scheme?
