Description:
According to Armstrong, M. (2009), Employee Benefits are elements of remuneration given in addition to the various forms of cash pay. They also include items that are not strictly remuneration such as annual holidays, and Milkovich and Boudreau (2009) define employee benefit as the indirect form of total compensation. They include paid away time from work, insurance and health protection, employee services and retirement income.
