Employee benefits have evolved significantly, originally used to circumvent wage controls during WWII. Today, they encompass a range of perks like health insurance, paid leave, and retirement plans, alongside individual responsibilities like managing sick leave. Key elements include medical coverage, severance pay, and employee assistance programs aimed at improving well-being. As the workforce diversifies, flexible work arrangements and support for mental health are gaining importance. Understanding these benefits is crucial for employees and employers navigating their implications in today’s labor market.
