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.

To convince an employee to go abroad, there may be additional benefits to help ease the transition. The most common is an increase in salary.

To take a job in Latvia, benefits typically include:

• Relocation assistance, e.g. finding accommodation, obtaining legal status
• A company car, particularly for mid- and upper-level management positions
• Private medical insurance (as well as insurance for the family)
• Tuition for children at a private or international school
• Sports club membership
• Additional holiday time
