Often Overlooked Company Benefits

Specialized women's CrossroadsOur work pays $200 every year per employee to be used toward a health club membership. The nice thing about this stipend is that it does not need to be used for a health club. It may be used to pay for anything that promotes health. This year, my wife bought a new bicycle. Her old bike was a beater that she rode during college many years ago. The total cost was $379. With $200 paid by our company, the cost to us was only $179. That is a sweet price for a new Specialized Crossroads Sport bicycle.

Our company also annually pays up to $2000 tuition and fees for advanced learning that is applicable to our field. Seminar costs are typically paid up front. University costs are reimbursed after receiving a satisfactory grade.

You may be leaving free money on the table if you don’t read your company’s HR plan to see if you qualify for any of these types of additional benefits.
