Flu Vouchers for Law Firms

Last Updated: August 18, 2026
Ask a fee-earner to hold a slot for a flu jab, and it is usually the first thing to move. A court listing overruns, a client calls, a deadline lands, and the appointment is gone. On top of that, a good number of staff are seconded to a client’s office for weeks at a time, working from a building the firm does not control, so a clinic on the firm’s own premises cannot reach them at all. For a workforce whose day rarely goes to plan, a fixed clinic is one of the hardest benefits to actually deliver.
A clinic needs everyone free at the same time. A voucher just needs a few spare minutes, whenever they have them.
Why a fixed clinic day rarely suits a law firm
On-site clinics work well for a team that is reliably in one place at a predictable time, such as a business services or support team based full-time in the office. Fee-earners are a different problem. Court listings move. Client meetings run over. A partner’s morning can be rearranged twice before lunch. Asking someone to hold a clinic slot against that kind of diary means it gets missed more often than not, or it means pulling someone out of billable work to attend, which in a firm built on chargeable hours is its own quiet cost.
Then there is secondment. Staff placed at a client’s office for weeks or months at a time are not just hard to schedule around a clinic. They are not in any building the firm controls at all. A clinic booked at the firm’s own premises cannot reach them by definition, whatever time you pick.
Where a clinic still makes sense, and where vouchers fit better
Most firms end up running a mix, matched to how predictable each part of the business actually is.
Running both through one provider keeps it to a single order and a single invoice, rather than trying to arrange separate cover for the parts of the firm that do not fit a clinic model. For the fuller comparison, see flu vouchers versus on-site clinics.
Fitting around billable time, not against it
The real advantage of a voucher for a fee-earner is not just flexibility, it is where the time comes from. Redeeming a voucher takes a few minutes at a pharmacy near the office, near home, or near wherever a case takes someone that week: on the way in, over lunch, between a meeting and a deadline. None of that needs to be booked out of the working day the way a clinic appointment does, which matters in a business where an hour off the clock is an hour not billed.
Covering secondees without involving the client
Because a voucher is redeemed at any participating pharmacy rather than at the firm’s own premises, staff on secondment are covered in exactly the same way as everyone else. There is nothing to arrange with the client site they are working from, and no clinic to try to fit around someone else’s office.
What it costs
For the 2026/27 season, pre-pay vouchers are £23 each for 1–9, £11.50 each for 10–999, and £10.50 each for 1,000 or more. Pay-Per-Activation is £18.95 per redeemed voucher, with a minimum of 25 activations.
Uptake tends to vary between fee-earners and business services staff, so it is worth deciding which payment model fits before you order.
How it works for a law firm
- Order once, firm-wide. One order covers fee-earners, business services staff and anyone on secondment.
- Receive a single code. Vouchers are sent digitally by email, with one redemption code for the whole order.
- Share it through HR. The code goes out through whichever channel already reaches everyone, wherever they are currently based.
- Staff redeem individually. Each person visits any of 2,000+ participating pharmacies, whenever a few minutes appears in their day.
Staff can find their nearest branch, including near a client site they are seconded to, using our pharmacy finder.
A sector we already work with
FluClinic2You already provides flu vaccination cover for Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner. Legal work brings a particular scheduling problem: unpredictable, client-driven time, and staff placed away from the firm’s own offices. Vouchers are built to work around exactly that, rather than against it.
If your firm operates from more than one office, our guide to flu vouchers for multi-site businesses covers the premises side of that in more depth. For the complete picture of ordering, pricing and redemption, see our guide on how to buy flu vouchers for your staff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can vouchers cover fee-earners on secondment?
Yes. Because a voucher is redeemed at any participating pharmacy rather than at the firm’s own premises, staff placed at a client site are covered in exactly the same way as everyone else, with nothing to arrange with the client.
Do vouchers work for partners and fee-earners with unpredictable schedules?
Yes. There is no appointment to book through the firm and no clinic slot to protect in the diary. Staff redeem whenever a few minutes appears, rather than at a fixed time.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Pre-pay vouchers can be ordered from a single voucher upwards, so the order can be sized to exactly how many staff you want to cover.
How are the vouchers delivered?
Digitally, by email. Once you order, we send your vouchers electronically along with a single code to share with your team. There is nothing to print or post.
Where can staff redeem a voucher?
At any of 2,000+ participating pharmacies across the UK, including near a client site if someone is currently seconded there. Staff can check using our pharmacy finder.
Can business services and support staff use the same scheme as fee-earners?
Yes. One order and one code cover everyone, whatever their role or working pattern, with no need to run separate schemes.
Can we combine vouchers with an on-site clinic?
Yes. Many firms run a clinic for business services teams based full-time in the office and vouchers for fee-earners and anyone on secondment, through the same provider.
