Individuals receiving Permanent Health Insurance (PHI) scheme payments

Where individuals receive payments from the Accenture PHI scheme, their insurance benefit is managed via the provider, with a review at the claim anniversary each year.

Where an individual is able to return to work from a period of PHI, Accenture will review their returning salary position, taking individual circumstances into consideration.

Individuals who are being promoted

As pay increases for promotions are managed from a separate budget, the pay matrix will not apply to individuals who have been promoted as a result of the 2019 end of year performance management process.

The ballot opens on 5 December and closes on 19 December. If accepted, pay increases will be made in January and backdated to 1 December 2019.
