['Employee Benefits']
Employers use more than simply fair wages to attract and keep good employees. The traditional benefits offered include: health, dental, vision, and prescription coverage; life insurance; short- and long-term disability insurance; and retirement plans (i.e., 401(k) plans). Outside of traditional benefits, employers offer flexible work schedules, casual dress days, and paid time off (vacation, holidays, sick leave). Whichever benefits an employer offers, it must follow the laws applicable to the benefits and administer them in a non-discriminatory manner.
