[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the bottom line according to my CEO from two companies ago.

He did not believe in paying for any of this mumbo jumbo. All of the money he saved by not providing these types of programs he just paid us more salary and bonus and we were free to do what we want with it.

I think I rather skip this mumbo jumbo and just make more cash.    [/quote]

There’s no one fixed pot of money, but that’s what employers want you to think. They will provide the pay and benefits they have to in order to a) be competitive and b) comply with the law.

To the extent benefits and pay are pitted against each other, there are real benefits to the employer in compensating employees through nonsalary benefits. First, for many benefits, there is a tax advantage. Second, not all employees use the maximum available benefit.

In any case, I’d prefer we had a society where we didn’t have to rely on employers for paid leave, and it was a tax-funded program like in 90% of the world, but here we are.[/quote]
