JOB BENEFITS

One of the ways for employers to attract and keep employees is through good job benefits. No, not free travel and holidays or food orders! A good medical insurance policy covering even the members of the family and a good pension are important but usually the only benefits.

Besides benefits there are sometimes other good things that come with the job. They are called perks and may include such things as free parking and use of a company car. Business people also usually get what is known as an expense account from the company. The money from this expense account can be used for company parties, conferences, or other such work-connected expenses.

1) What kind of benefits can one get with his/her job?

2) What is a perk?

3) What benefits and perks would you like to have from your job? Why?

4) Do you think they are a good idea? Why (not)?
