The problem
the problem
Switching mid-contract usually means paying two providers at once. Switch Hero takes the overlap off the table.
Being tied into a contract shouldn't mean settling for a platform that isn't working for you. We make it easier to get the benefits you and your people deserve.
Why start before your contract ends
Savings start sooner
Your team can order a bike, an electric car or nursery support through Perky straight away, instead of waiting for your renewal. That's when the employer NI savings on those schemes begin.
Schemes you don't have yet
All 16+ salary sacrifice schemes come with every plan, so schemes your current platform doesn't offer can start from day one.
No cliff edge
Your team learns the new app and payroll gets used to the Perky report while your old platform is still there. No scramble on the last day of your contract.
Tip: once Perky is live, close new orders on your old platform so your team only has one place to go.
how it works
Pay once, not twice.
Example: three months left on your current agreement
Perky fees while your old contract runs: were £1,140now £0
Your 12-month paid term- Month 1Perky goes liveYour team starts using it. Perky fees waived, giving you £1,140 on us.*
- Month 4Old contract endsYour paid term starts the same day.
- Month 15Term completeTwelve months paid, not fifteen.
*Illustrative figures based on 80 employees on Engage (£4.75 per employee per month), with the switch starting three months before their agreement with another benefits platform ends.

We launch alongside
We set up Perky, import your employees and run the launch while your old platform is still live.
You pay nothing until it ends
For up to four months. Your 12-month term starts after that.

We give you a checklist for leaving your current provider and work to your timeline.

- Launch commsAnnouncements written and ready to send to your team.
- Admin trainingA walkthrough of the Employer Hub for whoever runs it.
- Employee seminarsSalary sacrifice explained in plain English.
- A cut-over planMatched to your payroll dates, so nothing falls between providers.
What happens to your employees' existing agreements
Salary sacrifice agreements already running – car leases, bike hires, nursery places – don't end when you switch. They carry on under their original agreements until they finish, and new applications go through Perky from launch.
Car leases usually run two to four years and bike hires 12 to 18 months, and their deductions keep going through your payroll. Bringing them into your Perky payroll report is included at launch, so payroll works from one file.
The terms in brief
- Applies to an existing written agreement for an employee benefits platform, with its end date evidenced. Single-scheme providers, such as an EV provider contracted direct, don't qualify – we can take new orders for those schemes through Perky.
- Waives the per-employee monthly fee only. Integration builds and maintenance, the Reward Bundle and one-off fees are charged as normal.
- Up to four months, counted from go-live.
- The 12-month paid term is signed at the start and begins when the waiver ends.
- Can be combined with the Perky Promise or the Savings Guarantee. New clients only.
Questions
I have more than four months left. Can I still switch?
Yes. We waive four months, or we can plan your launch closer to your end date.
Do I need to give notice first?
Check your current contract's notice period; we'll fit around it.
Can my employees keep their current car or bike?
Yes. Their agreements don't end when you switch: they carry on under their original terms until they finish.
