Work Here, Get Gas…
Friday, September 5th, 2008A tiny plastic gas card.. is becoming a real hot ticket on the employment front.
More and more companies are working it.. trying to hang onto and attract skilled workers..and they are dangling some real prized perks.
A study out today by the Canadian Payroll Association
finds workers dig things like group term life insurance
and disability benefits, also tuition fees and paid professional membership dues.
The second most popular benefit is now
car allowances, and its due to the rising gas prices and insurance premiums.
The survey finds more and more employers are expected to get loose with gas cards..and transit passes.
Also high on the survey: counselling for stressed-out employees.
But at the very bottom of the list: child care expenses.
