<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Pension schemes</h3>

<p style="text-align: justify;">A workplace pension is the amount saved for retirement. Employers make arrangements for this pension. A percent of the employee’s pay is deducted and added to the pension scheme. This scheme will also provide tax benefits.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Besides workplace pension, here is the list of some other types of pensions:</p>

<ul style="text-align: justify;">
	<li>State pension</li>
	<li>Pension set by individuals</li>
</ul>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Holiday Pay</h3>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Workers who work for 5 days a week are entitled to get 28 days paid leaves per year. People who work for irregular hours get paid according to their time off.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Health insurance</h3>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Applicants will have to pay for a healthcare surcharge while submitting their visa applications. Healthcare is free in the UK through NHS but people who want to go to private healthcare providers can take up private health insurance. This insurance will pay some or all the medical expenses for private treatment.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Income Protection</h3>
