Boxers with natural and cropped ears and docked tails. In the last 100 years or so, ear cropping has been performed more often for cosmetic purposes. In nations and states where it remains legal, it is usually practiced because it is required as part of a breed standard for exhibition at dog shows.
Salary packaging (also known as salary sacrifice or salary exchange) is the inclusion of employee benefits (also called fringe benefits) in an employee remuneration package in exchange for giving up part of monetary salary.alary sacrifice can be extended to any range of benefits and in 2008 is becoming increasingly popular in the public sector as well as for transport related benefits e.g. Cycles, Bus Travel and Low CO 2 emission cars.
Take the example of an employee, earning Â£40,000 per annum, paying 5% into their pension. If this was done via salary sacrifice, the employer would save 13.8% of what was sacrificed, which is Â£276 p.a. (based on 2012/13 tax rates and assuming the scheme is contracted-in).Multiply this out for 300 employees, and the saving becomes approximately Â£83k each and every year the scheme runs.lthough salary sacrifice is not a new idea, it has grown in popularity in recent years as more employers take advantage of the tax and national insurance savings they can generate. Our research indicates that the vast majority of UK companies with employee benefits in place have implemented a salary sacrifice scheme.
