Introduction
Attracting and retaining top talent in Australia requires a competitive employee benefits program. As an employer, you’re always looking for valuable additions that make a real difference to your team’s financial well-being. Novated leasing presents a powerful opportunity to enhance your offerings without adding complexity to your operations. It’s a smart, effective way to give your staff access to their dream car while creating significant tax savings, positioning your company as an employer of choice.
Ways Leaselab Supports Employers in Enhancing Employee Benefits Programs
Leaselab provides a comprehensive framework for employers in Australia to seamlessly integrate novated leasing into their benefits packages. Our approach is centred on making the entire process simple, transparent, and beneficial for everyone involved. We handle the heavy lifting, allowing you to offer a premium benefit with minimal administrative effort.
From a fully managed novated lease to a self-managed lease, we provide options that empower your employees. The benefits of novated leasing extend beyond just car payments, creating a holistic financial advantage that your team will appreciate. We will explore the specific ways we support your business and staff below.
1. Streamlined Novated Leasing Services for Australian Workplaces
Integrating a new employee benefit can seem daunting, but we simplify every aspect of the novated lease process for your workplace. We understand that your time is valuable, which is why we’ve refined our systems to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience. Our expertise in the novated leasing industry means we can set up your business quickly and efficiently.
We manage the complexities so you don’t have to. This includes coordinating deductions with your pay cycle and handling the necessary paperwork. The goal is to make offering a novated lease as simple as any other salary-packaging benefit.
Our streamlined service for employers includes:
- A simple, one-time setup process for your business.
- Clear guidance for your payroll and HR teams.
- Automated reporting to minimise your administrative workload.
- Full compliance with Australian tax regulations.
2. Tailored Solutions to Meet Diverse Employee Needs
We recognise that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work when it comes to employee benefits. Your team is made up of individuals with different needs, priorities, and financial situations. That’s why we offer tailored solutions, from a fully managed lease agreement to a more flexible self-managed lease option for those who prefer more control.
This flexibility allows your staff to build a package that works for them. Employees can choose whether to include all running costs, such as fuel, insurance, and servicing, or select only the components they need. We collect the necessary personal information securely to create a package that is perfectly suited to each person.
Our tailored solutions feature:
- The choice to include or exclude specific running costs.
- Flexible lease terms ranging from one to five years.
- Options for different driver needs and budgets.
3. Simplified Application and Onboarding Processes
For an employee benefit to be successful, it needs to be easy to access and understand. We’ve designed our application and onboarding processes to be straightforward and transparent from the very beginning. Your employees can start by using our online novated lease calculator to get an instant estimate of their potential savings.
Once they’re ready to proceed, our team guides them through every step of the application. We provide all the important information clearly, ensuring there are no surprises in our terms of service. This focus on education and clarity empowers your staff to make confident decisions about their finances.
The simple onboarding journey includes:
- An easy-to-use online calculator for initial quotes.
- Personalised consultation to answer all questions.
- Clear and concise documentation.
- A dedicated contact person to guide them through the process.
4. Ongoing Support and Education for Employees and HR Teams
Our commitment to you and your employees doesn’t end once the lease is signed. We provide comprehensive ongoing support to ensure a smooth experience for the entire duration of the lease. We believe in being a long-term partner, available to help every step of the way, whether it’s a query about the benefits of novated leasing or a need for roadside assistance.
Your HR team will also have a direct line of communication with us for any administrative questions, making management simple. We focus on education, not just transactions, providing clear explanations in plain English to ensure everyone feels confident and informed.
Our ongoing support includes:
- A dedicated support team with fast response times.
- Regular updates and easy-to-understand information.
- Assistance with managing the lease, including end-of-lease options.
5. Transparent Pricing and Cost Savings for Employers and Staff
One of the most significant advantages of a novated lease is the financial benefit. We are committed to transparent pricing, ensuring there are no hidden fees or surprises. Our quotes provide a clear breakdown of all costs and savings, so your employees understand exactly how their lease payments are calculated and how much they are saving in dollars.
These cost savings are generated through several key tax benefits. Because lease payments are made from pre-tax salary, your employees lower their taxable income, resulting in paying less tax. Furthermore, they save on the upfront cost of the car as GST is not paid on the purchase price.
Here is a simple breakdown of the savings:
| Savings Area | How It Works |
| GST on Car Price | Save up to 10% on the purchase price of a new vehicle. |
| Income Tax Savings | Lease payments are made from pre-tax salary, lowering taxable income. |
| GST on Running Costs | No GST is paid on included running costs like fuel, servicing, and tyres. |
| Fleet Discounts | Access to wholesale pricing on vehicles, securing a better deal than at a dealership. |
Maximising Employee Satisfaction Through Flexible Leasing Options
A key driver of employee satisfaction is the feeling of being valued and having choices that suit one’s lifestyle. Our flexible leasing options are designed to deliver just that, putting your employees in control of their vehicle and lease arrangements. This level of customisation demonstrates that you have their best interests at heart.
When your staff can select a vehicle and lease structure that genuinely meets their needs, their satisfaction with your benefits program soars. This flexibility is fundamental to making a novated lease a truly personal and rewarding benefit, strengthening loyalty and engagement within your team. The following options highlight how we tailor the experience for each employee.
Customising Vehicle Choices and Lease Terms for Staff Preferences
Empowering your employees starts with giving them the freedom to choose a car that fits their life. Unlike restrictive company car programs, a novated lease allows staff to select almost any new car or even a qualifying used car. Whether they need a family SUV, an economical hatchback, or an electric vehicle, the choice is theirs.
This flexibility extends to the lease terms as well. Employees can select a lease duration that aligns with their financial goals, typically between one and five years. This ensures their car payments are manageable and predictable, providing financial certainty.
Vehicle and term customisation includes:
- A wide range of vehicle choices, including new and used cars.
- Flexible lease terms to match employee budgets and plans.
- The ability to novate an existing car in certain circumstances.
Ensuring Hassle-Free Management and Communication Throughout the Lease
A great benefit can be undermined by poor communication and difficult management. We eliminate this hassle by providing clear, consistent, and direct communication channels. From the moment your employee contacts us for a quote to the final day of their lease agreement, we are here to help. Our team can even assist with negotiating with the dealership to secure a great price.
This commitment to seamless management means your employees won’t be left waiting on hold for answers. We pride ourselves on our responsive customer support, ensuring queries are handled promptly and professionally. This builds trust and gives your staff peace of mind. For a novated lease quote in Melbourne or elsewhere in Australia, you can contact us easily by phone at 1300 888 594 or through our website.
Our hassle-free approach includes:
- A single point of contact for streamlined communication.
- Proactive management of the lease from start to finish.
- Support with all aspects, including registration and insurance.
- Simple processes for making claims on running costs.
