Employees accept job offers not only upon the salary, but on the benefits that accompany many positions. Employee benefits are a "job perk" that may convince a potential employee to join a specific company.
Long-term benefits often consist of contributions to supplementary pension insurance and life insurance.
Some typical short-term benefits might be: luncheon vouchers, sports memberships, event tickets, etc.
