Q. What are Employee Benefits?

A. Employee Benefits are usually considered to be any form of compensation above and beyond the wage or salary. Common employee benefits include insurance, such as health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance.

In addition, it is common for employers to offer benefits such as sick days, vacation days, retirement plans or pensions, and employee discounts if applicable.

Potential employees generally take these benefits into account when they are considering whether or not to take a job. A job that pays less but offers great benefits may be preferred over one that pays more but doesn't have very good benefits. Companies take this into consideration, and many offer extra benefits or perks when trying to attract employees.
