To wonder what perks people get?

[Loopylala7]

I was told earlier that a couple I know were given money from the company he works for which was specifically to be used on a meal out as a reward. I was a bit shocked when I was told how much (I'm quite a modest wage earner, and quite frankly would be lucky to get a cup of tea and a biscuit out of my employer) and also this is not his first reward either. Just a bit curious what other perks people get really?

free tea+coffee, annual dinner, foreign travel.
DH used to get free Xmas meal + Xmas hamper.

I had a bonus month's salary once for a weeks work. Boss was going on holiday and the other guy who worked in our studio quit out of the blue. I had 7 working days on my own and had to pick up 3 people's projects. I actually enjoyed it though it was too much to do full time at 15 hours a day plus most days.

Other than that and xmas bonuses we get free use of space/tools/equipment/van hire as long as we arent taking the piss.

An actual holiday? wow, nice

I'm fortunate to get paid on time

Free crappy coffee.

Zilch! no bonus, no xmas do, nothing at all- apart from a regular monthly wage which of couse im grateful for, DP works same company so gets no perks either!

Tea and coffee, breakfast, fresh fruit, dried fruit for snacks and if you're really lucky a trip to Australia on a "finding yourself" sort of course. Depending on where you're based you also get your home to work travel expenses paid.

Free tea/coffee/milk/water, annual bonus, Christmas meal out, Christmas presents from boss, the odd fish & chip day..

Lunch, as much tea and coffee as I want, free use of gym / pool / sauna. Free haircuts with a trainee on a specific day of the week. Four free nights at UK hotels a year (I work for the brand), significan discount on the Hotel brand rates worldwide for me, my OH and our parents. Quite a good discount for any other family members and friends. Christmas party. £50 bonus for employee of the month, £200 for employee of the year.

Free photocopies, use of the computer, tea and coffee, training seminars, working equipment bought if you can justify it and it stays on the premises, petrol and wear and tear if you drive for the company. That's pretty normal,isn't it?

Oh and one day a month is like a "perk" day - so managenent nay wash everyones cars, a tuck shop trolley goes around (free), we go for afternoon tea in one of the function roosm etc.

Free refreshments (tea. coffee water etc), fresh fruit.

6 social events per year (incl. xmas party, summer party, quiz nights etc - all with food / refreshments).

Everyone is eligible to participate in annual bonus scheme.

Managers are also provided with a budget that allows them to recognise individuals who have gone above and beyond (e.g. special projects, long hours etc) with rewards such as a nice meal out with partner (max £120), theatre tickets etc etc.

I should add that no-one is entitled to overtime and most do work longer than their contractual hours.

Tea/coffee/water/milk/juice etc daily
Free Christmas party and lunch
Occasional business/team lunches out
Yearly bonus (more than 2months salary)

My dp and I own our own business but we have had some good perks too. We have had lots of free stuff (I can not really say what without outing myself) We have had 2 free holidays to las vegas, meals out paid for by different companies. shopping vouchers etc.

John Lewis staff just got an extra 6 weeks pay this year- some of it tax free. They also get six months' paid sabbatical after 25 years service.

I used to get a case of wine every month and two free transatlantic flights every year.

tea/coffee and free use of the copier for personal printing - i.e. naff all

Free tea and coffee.
And we all work over our hours as well.

I teach and we got given 1/2 a day for Christmas shopping the year we got an outstanding ofsted! I had to go in unpaid on my day off for the ofsted inspection though...

That's the only thing I can think of in 15 years, I'm amazed by what some of you get think I'm in the wrong job!

l'm self employed and work from home, I won't even allow the heating on unless it's really freezing, there's nothing wrong in working in your dressing gown and fingerless gloves.

Free railways travel with the company my husband works with, and 75% off all other train company's fares. This covers me as well, and our children till they are 16 or 19 in FTE.

I used to get a free pair of specs with my old job lol.

Free, instant access to consultant surgeons (I'm a scrub nurse). Just yesterday I asked one about a mole I was concerned about and should I see my GP, luckily they said it was fine.

BUPA, free tea and a variety of other drinks at work. £250 in vouchers at Christmas (think that is the maximum benefit that is not taxable). Frequent occasions to drink champagne.

Lunch, tea and coffee while on shift
20 days holiday plus 2 after 3 years service and 2 more after 5.
Significant discount on hotel rooms and good discount for friends and family who travel without me

Free uniform and cleaning for it or dry cleaning for my work clothes as I don't have to wear uniform in my role.
Christmas party
Christmas lunch out somewhere posh
Christmas lunch in house

I don't get overtime as I am classed as management, although I get paid a lot better than those who do get overtime. Still a lot less than my role in other industries though!
Discounted spa treatments
High job satisfaction

Free parking, that's a definite perk. Free Microsoft office for personal devices. Some random staff offers, 20% off this and that.

DH gets free drinks during work, monthly bonus, Xmas hamper, gift vouchers usually every quarter, day off for his birthday, Xmas shopping day. Lots of good stuff.

Im sahp but when I did work it was only childcare voucher scheme, free tea/coffee and one free staff meal at xmas.

DH gets a case of wine every xmas and cash bonus (nasty tax comes off naturally), free travel to work and subsidised staff canteen. They have a summer and xmas team meal out paid by company and leaving do's for moving to a new division or company also paid. He works for a huge company though.
