BENEFITS OF WORKING AT
CJJH
Calvary John James Hospital is committed to facilitating a cultural
transition process that continually improves patient outcomes. Health care professionals are invited to join the CJJH
team and be part of this dynamic and rewarding process.
SALARY SACRIFICE
“Salary sacrifice” or “salary packaging”: is a system whereby a
portion of an employee’s gross salary or wages are substituted or
‘sacrificed’ and paid as a benefit, before tax, rather than directly
as salary, thereby reducing the amount of tax paid by the employee
on their income.
All employees of the Calvary John James Hospital are eligible to access
salary sacrifice arrangements. These benefits are offered at no cost
to the employee or offset by the hospital, and it remains the
responsibility of employees to ensure that they take appropriate
advice on salary packaging independent of the employer.
Items which can be packaged include:
- Child Care or school fees
- Child maintenance
