The word perk comes from the word perquisite, which is an old word describing something due because of privilege; normally to do with royalty. We have come a long when we now expect to be treated like royalty but today's job postings are veritable menus of added extras, enticements and incentives. Getting a pay cheque at the end of the month is not enough anymore, we want extras. 

Main perks:

Pension Most people would be shocked if their employer didn't offer them a stake in a company pension scheme. Being part of a corporate pension scheme is a huge benefit and the increased buying power and investment potential of all that collective money means that your retirement should be a soft landing. But it is a golden handcuff and most people working in the modern age will find they have collected three or four corporate pensions at the end of their working life and that collective buying power they were promised diminishes when you have a small stake in three or four of them.

Bonus In the upper echelons of banking some bonuses are the stuff of legend. People getting bonuses so large they could buy Tuscan villas, Ferraris or small Caribbean islands. But the real question is: if you expect a bonus every year, it's not really a bonus is it? It is more a lump sum of your salary given to you once a year so that you can buy big, heavy shiny things to show off with.

Healthcare & Dental I had private healthcare back in the UK. But in the UK, if you contract anything serious, you are treated by the NHS regardless and you might - because of your healthcare package  - get to stay in a swanky, private room to recuperate. So, as a perk it just felt like travelling business class when all they do is pull a nylon curtain between you and the great unwashed. But if you get free healthcare in the USA or Switzerland? Now you're talking. Healthcaee is very expensive in theses two countries and a corporate scheme that gives you entirely paid for (or massively subsidised) healthcare is a massive perk; an equivalent of a pay rise. If you get your family covered as well? I'd work for the devil himself if that was put on the table.

Company Car I have never had a company car. I had a bicycle voucher...and a free train pass...and I was even offered membership of a carpool scheme. But I know people who have and to a certain extent it is a measure of prestige, status and pride. Some people revel in parking their over-engineered über-wagons in the company car park and seeing the envy on people's faces when they hear the heavy thunk of Bavarian steel closing on enough cowhide to clothe a chapter of Hells Angels. But others opt out and decide that they could use the contribution, instead, to pay for a station-wagon...or a holiday...or a new bathroom. That makes a certain kind of statement as well.

Perks?:

Business Class Air Travel As a perk this is becoming rarer as it is so expensive but in my experience, travelling for work is not always pleasant. I have known people to fly for nearly 18 hours for a three hour meeting...or to fly somewhere, have a meeting in the airport lounge, and return on the exact plane they arrived in...and I have flown somewhere, they cancelled the meeting, and I had to fly back again to attend another meeting...that was subsequently cancelled. I think that if companies expect their employees to sacrifice their own time travelling they should at least allow them to travel in comfort (BTW, I never got to fly business - bitter? Moi? Oh yes.)

Mobile phone / Blackberry Is this a perk? Really? Being available all day, every day? Constantly being aware of emails? It's an umbilical cord back to work and I regard it as a measure of how fast we all need responses to questions that sometimes need deliberation, rather than a perk.

Subsided Canteen I worked somewhere where the canteen that was free...and the food was fantastic. But I ended up gorging myself and having to use the next perk on the list more than I liked. In my opinion I think your employer should give you a basic lunch. I'm not expecting a wild boar with an apple in it's mouth everyday, but a sandwich and an apple would be okay by me. But paying to eat in the company canteen? Subsidised or not that seems a bit tight.

Gym Membership I went to HR once and said that I hated gyms; they made me feel like a hamster on a wheel and besides I hated running and watching MTV at the same time - it lowered my IQ. So I suggested that they could, instead, give me the money they would have paid towards my gym membership so I could buy butter, beer and cigarettes. They refused.

Perks are great if you work your entire life for the company and they are based in the USA or Switzerland and you like to drive a swanky car. But most people only get perks by changing jobs and perks are seen - by many - as bargaining chips; a way for companies to offer attractive packages to desirable employees without destroying their pay structure and altering their balance sheets adversely....and by employees as a way of getting paid a higher salary in a lateral way.

Ultimately they are an indicator that companies - and individuals - are expected to take responsibility for more of the things that the state was once supposed to. They are a sign of the times - of individualism - and in a way that is quite a sad measure of global society; that the onus on an individual's (and their family's) prosperity, health and future is dictated by what package his or her company offers them.

But next time you're at the bargaining table and they offer you all of the above? Forget the last paragraph and play poker like the best.
