Introduction

A fringe benefit is any non wage payment or benefit offered to employees by their employers (for example, pension schemes, profit-sharing programmes, vacation pay, and company-paid life, health, and unemployment insurance programmes). It can be imposed by legislation, granted unilaterally by companies, or gained via collective bargaining.
