A: The GymFlex team can select your membership for you if you contact them on 0845 300 6474. You will need<br />

you Payroll Number to hand.<br />

Q: When will my membership start<br />

A: Each employee's membership will be active from the start of the following month after you have selected your<br />

membership and the confirmation statement sent to you from <strong>Barratt</strong> has been signed and returned.<br />

Q: When do I start paying<br />

A: Your monthly payments will begin in your next pay packet after the "membership live" date printed on your<br />

confirmation receipt<br />

Q: How long is my membership for<br />

A: Your membership is for a period of 12 (twelve) months<br />

Q: Can I pay off the balance early or pay over a shorter time<br />

A: No. The commitment will run over for 12 months<br />

Q: What if I am already a member of the club<br />

A: Existing members are eligible to move to the new GymFlex rate. In most cases this will happen automatically<br />

after you have chosen a membership via GymFlex, However we advise employees to inform their clubs and to<br />

cancel their existing direct debit. However this may not apply to employees on a fixed length contract (typically<br />

12 months) so if you are part way through a fixed contract please speak to the GymFlex team on 0845 300 6474<br />

who will be able to assist you.<br />

Q: Is my wife / husband / partner/ spouse eligible<br />

A: Yes. <strong>Barratt</strong> Developments know how important our people and their families are and you have the facility to<br />

purchase SINGLE and JOINT memberships via <strong>My</strong> <strong>Barratt</strong> <strong>Benefits</strong>.<br />

Q: What happens if I want to cancel my membership<br />

A: Your membership is for a period of 12 (twelve) months and is non-cancellable.<br />

Q: What happens if I leave employment<br />

A: If you cease employment with your employer part way through your 12 month agreement, <strong>Barratt</strong> may request<br />

the balance of your membership from you on termination of your employment. As these will no longer be part of<br />

your flex or salary sacrifice scheme you will not save the national insurance on the remaining balance.


Q: What happens if I move out of the area<br />

A: You are still liable for paying the membership at the club for the remainder of the benefit scheme year in which<br />

you move. It may be possible for you to transfer your membership to a site with the same provider nearer your<br />

new home but this is entirely at their discretion and you should contact the GymFlex team.<br />

Q: What are the tax and National Insurance implications of purchasing my<br />

membership through GymFlex<br />

A: Purchasing your gym membership through GymFlex entitles you to National Insurance Contribution savings<br />

on the value of the gym membership when compared to paying for your membership out of net salary
