What is a total reward statement letter?

A total reward statement is a document that provides an overview of an employee's total compensation and benefits package. It includes details on the employee's base salary, bonuses or incentives, and the value of any benefits, such as pensions, health insurance, and paid time off. The statement aims to communicate the full value of an employee's package, beyond just their basic salary.

Total reward statements can be an effective way to improve employee engagement and retention by providing transparency and recognition of the value of an employee's compensation and benefits package. It can also help to support a positive workplace culture, by demonstrating an employer's commitment to fair and competitive compensation and benefits.

Total reward statements may be provided to employees on an annual basis, or as part of an ongoing employee communication program. The statement may be provided as a physical document, or it may be available online through an employee portal.

Employers should also ensure that they are providing reasonable adjustments to accommodate employees with disabilities.
  3. Employment Rights Act 1996: Employers must provide employees with written statements of employment particulars, which include details of their pay and benefits package. Employers should ensure that their total reward statement letter is accurate and up-to-date, and reflects the information provided in the written statement of employment particulars.

Yes. This template has been designed for organisations of all sizes, including small businesses, charities and growing employers. It follows UK employment law best practice and can be adapted to suit your organisation.

Is it compliant with 2026 UK employment law?

Our templates are developed with UK employment legislation, Acas guidance and HR best practice in mind and are reviewed and updated as relevant requirements change.

Why should I use this Total reward statement letter template, and not AI to generate it?

It needs to reflect relevant UK employment law, HR best practice, practical considerations and the circumstances in which it will be used. These resources have been professionally developed around that wider HR context, drawing on extensive practical experience, rather than simply generating a generic document from a prompt.
