Fringe benefits, incentives and extras: what’s the difference?
Professionals do not just expect a basic salary that is in line with what other companies are paying. They want to have a choice between competitive fringe benefits, incentives and extras as well.
- Fringe benefits are all forms of compensation in kind that are paid to an employee indirectly and are not performance linked.
Examples: health insurance and pension plans. - With incentives such as financial or other remuneration, you reward or encourage exceptional performance and boost retention. Incentives are not established rights, they are performance linked.
Examples: bonusses, awards. - Extras (perks) are privileges that you give employees in addition to fringe benefits and incentives.
Examples: fitness club membership, free meals.
