  • WELCOME TO ELEMENTS

    3

    Welcome to ELEMENTS, which brings together all of the elements of J.P. Morgans

    UK benefits programme in one place and under one umbrella. ELEMENTS

    consists of four sections: My Benefits, My Money, My Health and My Lifestyle

    and this guide will provide you with a summary of the benefits available to

    you. You should access the ELEMENTS website via My Rewards@Work for more

    information about any of the benefits highlighted in this guide.

    The My Benefits section of ELEMENTS is where you will make your flexible benefit selections. The other three sections include details about all of the benefits available to you, such as matching and additional pension contributions in My Money, details of J.P. Morgans Wellness programme in My Health and the Xexec discount service in My Lifestyle.

    The Annual Enrolment Period for making your flexible benefit selections opens on Tuesday 21 February and closes at midnight on Friday 9 March. Benefits are then effective from 1 April. This is your opportunity to choose the benefits that best suit you and your individual circumstances for the year ahead.

    When making your benefit selections, please remember that, in most cases, you are making a commitment until the end of the 2012/13 benefits year (31 March 2013). Unless you experience a qualifying Lifestyle Event, you will not be able to make changes to your benefit selections until the next annual enrolment period. Lifestyle Events include: getting married, having a baby and moving home. A full list of eligible Lifestyle Events are available on the ELEMENTS website and on pages 24 and 25 of this guide.

    We would strongly recommend that even if you think you do not want to change your current benefit selections that you log on to the ELEMENTS website and access the My Benefits section to see what is available for the 2012/13 benefits year. Think about how you could combine the benefits on offer to better suit the needs of you and your family and to save you money.

    This guide gives you an overview of the benefits available to you.

    All benefits are subject to their applicable terms and conditions, and relevant policy documents, which are available on the ELEMENTS website. You are advised to read all the information available before selecting any benefits.

    If you have any questions regarding your benefit selections, please contact 020 7235 0606, option 4, or email [email protected].

  • 4HOW MY BENEFITS WORKS

    When you access this section of ELEMENTS you will see both Core and Flex benefits listed.

    Core benefits are provided to you as part of your overall reward package at J.P. Morgan. If you select Flex benefits you will pay for these via a monthly deduction from your pay over the course of the 2012/13 benefits year (with the exception of the discounted restaurant card which is deducted in full from your April salary). By paying in this way you will, in a number of cases, benefit from tax and/or National Insurance savings. The icons in the Key box opposite are shown next to the benefits where there are savings or actions.

    The amount which you receive in your pay each month after making your flexible benefit choices is know as your flex salary. This will vary according to the benefits you select. The diagram below shows how it works:

    New for 2012Restaurant Discount Card: this card entitles you to discounts at over 5,000 restaurants nationwide ranging from national chains to Michelin star restaurants. Discounts vary and can include 2 for 1 offers and 25% discount off the total bill. If selected as part of your flexible benefit choices, you will save more than 50% of the Recommended Retail Price of the card.

    Forms to complete: Nomination of Beneficiaries form available via ELEMENTS > My Benefits > Pension

    As part of your Core benefits, the Company pays contributions towards the J.P. Morgan UK Pension Plan on your behalf. In addition, you can make contributions which are matched by the Company and known as Employee Flex Matched Contributions.

    The Plan is a non-contributory, defined contribution plan which means that the Company makes contributions to your pension on your behalf as part of your Core benefit entitlement. You can choose to make contributions matched by the Company up to 6%, known as Employee Flex Matched Contributions. You may also make additional contributions above 6% but these will not be matched by the Company.

    Contributions are invested in your pension account which may grow over time, built up by further contributions and investment returns. When you retire you use your pension account to buy your choice of retirement benefits. In addition to a pension at retirement, you also receive a range of other benefits for you and your family, including:

    Life assurance of four times your pensionable salary

    Dependants pensions for your partner and children

    A tax-free lump sum at retirement (within HM Revenue & Customs limits).

    You must complete a Nomination of Beneficiaries form so that the Trustee knows your wishes in the event of your death. You can complete the Nomination of Beneficiaries form online via My Rewards@Work > My Pension > Review Beneficiaries. You should make sure you keep this up to date. (For information, if you select Additional Life Assurance you will also need to complete a separate Nomination of Beneficiaries form for that benefit as well.)

    Please note that you can now start, stop or change matching or additional pension contributions once every three months during the 2012/13 benefits year.

You will be notified if you need to provide medical information and, based on the medical evidence, the insurer may restrict the level of benefit to a maximum amount each year and/or may impose exclusions for certain conditions.

    Childcare Vouchers Flex

    If you joined the scheme from 6 April 2011, you can select up to 243 per month but the level of tax saving you can make is based on your marginal tax rate.

    The current limits are outlined below.

    ELEMENTS > My Benefits > Childcare Vouchers

    Provider: care-4 by Grass Roots Group

    Helpdesk: 0844 800 1444 www.care-4.co.uk

    Childcare Vouchers are an ideal way of meeting some of your childcare costs in a tax efficient way. On selecting this benefit, you will be given access to the electronic care-4 childcare voucher scheme, enabling you to make payments directly to your childcare provider through an individual care-4 account set up in your name.

    Vouchers are available online and you select a monthly voucher amount which will be credited to your care-4 account, up to a current maximum of 243 per month (2,916 per year) for the 2012/2013 tax year.

    You set up your childcare provider in your care4 account.

    Your childcare provider must be registered or approved; registered childminders, nurseries and after school clubs, and you will need to add their contact details and account details to your care4 account.

    The care4 website provides more information as to what types of childcare are considered to be registered or approved. The website also explains what you need to do if your current childcare provider is not approved for these purposes.

    Once you have registered your childcare providers details, and your first payroll deduction has been credited to your care4 account, you then just need to agree a date for payment to be made to your carers bank account.

    To authorise payment to your carers bank account, visit www.care-4.co.uk or telephone 0844 800 1444. If you make regular payments to your carer, you can set up scheduled payments to be made on a monthly basis when you join the scheme.

    You must be the parent, or step parent, of the child in order to purchase childcare vouchers and receive the tax savings.

    If you receive tax credits, your entitlement may be affected by selecting childcare vouchers and we would recommend that you consult your local tax office for guidance.

    Forms to complete: Hire Agreement (download at ELEMENTS)

    In order to receive your voucher you must sign and return the Hire Agreement by 16 March 2012

    You have access to a Cycle to Work scheme offering a tax-efficient way of leasing a bicycle.

    You pay the monthly lease cost of the bicycle over a 12 month period, free of Income tax and National Insurance, although you will continue to have use of the bicycle for the full 36 months.

    There are tax advantages for taking up this benefit. To qualify, at least 50% of the use of the bicycle must relate to travel to and from work (or for work purposes). However, you do not need to keep mileage records.

    Visit your local partner shop to choose your bicycle and any safety equipment you require. You will be given a paper quote for your chosen bicycle and equipment. You can locate your nearest partner shop at www.cyclescheme.co.uk using the search facility.

    Choose the amount from 100 to 1,000 that is closest to the paper quote you were given in the shop from the amount displayed. This amount must be equal to, or more than, the actual cost of the bicycle and any associated equipment (including safety helmets, lights and reflective clothing).

    You then need to complete a Hire Agreement and send to Grassroots. Upon receipt of your Hire Agreement, Grassroots will release the voucher to you. The deadline for Grassroots to receive your Hire Agreement is the 16 March 2012. If they do not receive your Hire Agreement by this date, the benefit will be deselected from your Enrolment form.

    You will be sent a voucher for your chosen amount after the Open Enrolment period has ended and you will be able to redeem your voucher in your local partner shop and you may be asked to provide photographic ID when collecting your bicycle and associated equipment.

    At the end of the lease period you may be able to buy the bicycle at its fair market value at that time.

    If you have joined J.P. Morgan mid-way through the year, you can only select this benefit at the next Annual Enrolment Period for the 2013 Benefit Year.

    Your voucher must be exchanged for a bicycle and any related safety equipment at your local partner shop within four months of receipt.

    If you select this benefit, you will need to arrange your own insurance but you must advise the insurer that J.P. Morgan has an interest.

    Cyclescheme have partnered with Cycleguard to provide cyclists with an insurance policy which covers amongst other things, the theft of a bicycle, accidental damage, personal accident and public liability. The policy offers the option for coverage in the UK and overseas and you may cover up to 3 bicycles under the policy. To obtain a quotation go to www.cycleguard.co.uk/cs.

    Extra Benefits

  • 22

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhat happens if I do not make selections during Annual Enrolment?With the exception of additional and matching pension contributions (which you can now change once every three months) you can only make changes to your Flex benefits during Annual Enrolment (21 February 2012 to 9 March 2012), unless you experience a qualifying Lifestyle Event.

    Lifestyle Events include: birth of a child, marriage, moving home and returning from maternity leave. You will find the Lifestyle Event guide on the ELEMENTS website in the Information tab and on pages 24 and 25 of this guide.

    What happens if I join the Company after the Annual Enrolment Period?If you join J.P. Morgan outside of the Annual Enrolment Period, you will be sent an email from the benefit administrator (Vebnet) within your first couple of weeks inviting you to make your selections for the remainder of the Benefit Year. If you make any selections, you will be notified when your benefits will be effective from. If you do not make any selections, you will receive your Core benefits only.

    Please note that the Bicycle scheme and GymFlex can only be selected during the Annual Enrolment Period.

    How do I make changes to my flex benefits if I experience a Lifestyle Event?You need to contact 020 7325 O6O6, option 4, within one month of the Lifestyle Event happening. Let the call handler know that you have had a Lifestyle event and that you would like them to open your Enrolment Form. For a full list of Lifestyle Events, and the changes you can make, please see the Lifestyle Event guide, which can be found on the ELEMENTS website in the Information tab and on pages 24 and 25 of this guide.

    How do I make changes to my Flex pension contributions outside of the Enrolment Period?You are able to make changes to your Flex matched and additional pension contributions outside of Enrolment on a quarterly basis. To make a change you simply need to contact 020 7325 0606, option 4 and request that your Enrolment Form is opened for you to make a change to your Flex pension contributions. Once SUBMITTED, the change will take place from the next available Payroll.

    What happens during a period of unpaid leave?For periods of unpaid leave the following Flex benefits will cease from the date you went onto unpaid leave: pension contributions, Personal Accident, Travel Insurance and Dental Insurance, Retail Vouches and Childcare Vouchers and the onsite gym.

    The following benefits will continue (the cost will accumulate and will be deducted as soon as you start to receive pay again): Critical Illness, Health Screening, Life Assurance, Partner Life Assurance and GymFlex.

    If you have Healthcare Plus (Allianz), at the point you went onto unpaid leave, this benefit will cease and you will automatically be transferred onto the UK Healthcare Plan (AXA).

    All Core benefits remain in place during any periods of unpaid leave, these are; pension, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), Income Protection, UK healthcare Plan (AXA) and Health Screening.

    During Statutory and Unpaid Maternity Leave the Flex benefits you have (at the point you went onto maternity leave) will continue, with the exception of retail vouchers which will cease.

    When you return to work from unpaid leave, you will be able to make changes to your benefits. Please refer to the Lifestyle Event guide, on the ELEMENTS website in the Information tab, and on pages 24 and 25 of this guide.

    What if I leave the Company?If you leave the Company, your Core benefits will cease on your termination date and your Flex benefits will cease on the last day of the month in which you leave. The outstanding balance of any benefits that you have selected will be deducted from your salary on leaving the Company. Payroll will contact you directly regarding repayment if there is a residual balance.

    Do Flex benefits affect my employment contract?Yes, your selections form an amendment to your contract for the forthcoming Benefit Year.

  • 23

    What is Salary Sacrifice?If you select Flex benefits, these benefits are deducted from your Gross Salary and you are effectively agreeing to sacrifice part of your salary in exchange for the benefit.

    In the majority of cases, you will save on tax and /or National Insurance if you select benefits through My Benefits. For each benefit there is an icon showing where there are tax and / or NI savings.

    There are some situations where a Salary Sacrifice arrangement will have an impact on certain State benefits such as Child Tax Credits, or on employees whose earnings are close to the Lower Earnings Limit. You should refer to the Childcare Vouchers page on the website and you should also check with your local tax office.

    As a result of participating in a Salary Sacrifice arrangement, you effectively pay less National Insurance contributions. With effect from 6 April 2012, employees will be contracted into the State Second Pension (S2P). Therefore, if you earn less than 40, 040 your S2P pension could be affected by any Salary Sacrifices you elect. As an example, if you earn below 40,040, for a 100 reduction in gross earnings you would lose approximately 20p a year in State pension. That is based on an S2P accrual of 10% at that band of earnings divided by 49. The 20p would be revalued by an inflationary factor up to State Pension Age. If your earnings drop below 14,400 but above 5,304 the accrual rate is 40%.

    Your Reference Salary will be used to determine pensionable salary which is then used to calculate pension contributions. Therefore, a Salary Sacrifice arrangement will not affect the amount J.P. Morgan contributes towards your pension.

    Generally, earnings would need to fall below the Lower Earnings Limit (LEL) in order to negatively affect your entitlement to State benefits. The LEL is 107 per week for the 2012/13 tax year.

    How are the benefit costs calculated?The costs are set by the benefit providers and may, depending on the benefit, take into account a number of factors including your salary, age and medical circumstances amongst others.

    What if the Company make changes to the Benefits?For each Benefit Year, the Company reviews the options available and as a result the Company reserve the right to:

    Change the benefits, options and costs offered;

    Amend or withdraw benefits;

    Change benefit providers;

    Exclude you from selecting a benefit if the provider refuses to provide that benefit to you and/or your dependant;

    Require you to abide by the providers rules and requirements for the provision of benefits once you have selected a benefit

    Discontinue any benefit should the take up be particularly low, or alter the rates of discounts offered, if applicable.

    In the event of the plan terminating, or as a result of your participation in the plan ending for whatever reason, the Company will, where applicable, provide you with the Core benefit offering and your take-home pay will be adjusted accordingly.

    Who do I contact if I have any questions?For general questions please contact 020 7325 0606, option 4 or you can email [email protected].

    To speak directly to a provider, the provider contacts can be found on the ELEMENTS homepage and in the Information tab.

    Should you wish to provide feedback, please email [email protected].

    GLOSSARYAnnual Enrolment PeriodThis is the time during which you make your benefit selections. The Annual Enrolment Period takes place in February/March each year (if you joined J.P. Morgan after the Annual Enrolment Period closed then you would have been advised separately of your Enrolment Period and therefore the deadline you need to submit your benefits by). With the exception of Pensions, you can only change your benefit selections outside of the Annual Enrolment Period if you experience a qualifying Lifestyle Event. If you join during the Benefit Year, you will be unable to select bicycles, Gourmet Card and GymFlex, which are limited to the Annual Enrolment Period.

    Benefit YearThis is the period during which your benefit selections are effective. The Benefit Year runs from 1 April to 31 March. With the exception of flex pension contributions (which you can change once every three months), you can only change your selections during the Benefit Year if you experience a qualifying Lifestyle Event.

    ChildGenerally, this means your dependants over whom you and/or your partner are parents or legal guardians. For certain benefits, further provisions may apply, including age limits up to which children can be covered. If your child reaches an age limit then this may qualify as a Lifestyle Event.

    Civil PartnerThis means your Civil Partner from your current registered Civil Partnership.

    The CompanyJ.P. Morgan

    Flexible BenefitsThese are the benefits you select in the My Benefits section of the ELEMENTS website. Flexible Benefits are highlighted to you as flex.

    Flex SalaryWhilst your Reference Salary will not change because of your Flexible benefit selections, the amount you receive in your pay each month will change. This is known as your Flex Salary. Changing your benefit selections as a result of a qualifying Lifestyle Event may cause your Flex Salary to change.

    Lifestyle EventThis is a significant change in your personal or family circumstances that may allow you to change some of your benefit selections.

    PartnerYour current spouse, Civil Partner or partner with whom you are co-habiting and with whom you are financially inter-dependent and with whom you are living together in a similar relationship as husband, wife or Civil Partner. For certain benefits, further provisions may apply. Changing your partnership status (for example co-habiting, getting married or divorced) may qualify as a Lifestyle Event.

    Reference SalaryThis is the annual salary currently notified to you in your contract or pay review letter. It will not change as a result of your benefit selections and will continue to be used to calculate items such as life assurance cover and pension contributions.

    Salary SacrificeThis means that you agree to give up part of your salary in return for an employee benefit. As a result, you can make National Insurance contribution savings as well as benefit from certain income tax advantages. The income tax treatment varies from benefit to benefit and you should refer to each individual benefit description on the ELEMENTS website for more details on how each benefit is treated.
