CareerPath describes this important benefit in enough detail to get you squared away on it. The Web site reports legal requirements of employers when handling your pension money, as well as good questions to ask in evaluating retirement benefit packages. Profiting from the fruits of your labor is another area you should get smart about, discovering how much you can put into a plan and whether the company matches or contributes a fixed amount. CareerPath notes that most companies offer free life insurance to employees and that death benefits typically range from one to two years' wages. Flexible spending accounts allow you to have a portion of your pretax salary set aside for specified purposes such as child care or elder care and unreimbursed medical costs.
Time off is high on the charts for most people.
The employee benefit list is nearly endless. You won't know if you're getting your share until you bone up on what's available. CareerPath is a good place to start.
