EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Employee benefits (also called fringe benefits, perquisites, perqs or perks) are various non-wage compensations provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. Examples of these benefits include: housing (employer-provided or employer-paid), group insurance (health, dental, life etc.), disability income protection, retirement benefits, daycare, tuition reimbursement, sick leave, vacation (paid and non-paid), social security, profit sharing, funding of education, and other specialized benefits.
The term perks is often used colloquially. Often, perks are given to employees who are doing notably well and/or have seniority. Common perks are take-home vehicles, hotel stays, free refreshments, leisure activities on work time (golf, etc.), stationery, allowances for lunch. They may also be given first chance at job promotions when vacancies exist.
Advantages of Giving Fringe Benefits
Employers have several reasons why they provide fringe benefits even if this means additional expenses.
• With extensive health insurance plans, companies can keep their key employees and workers who provide satisfying service.
• Usually, most employers enjoy tax breaks especially if they pro-vide group health plans.
• Workers will usually prefer better fringe benefits than higher salary, allowing employers to reduce their expenses.
• Several studies suggested that employees who are covered by a good health insurance are less likely to be absent from their work.
• When receiving benefits, workers will think that their companies are good employers, boosting their morale and improving their work ethics.
