benefits package
Compensation beyond salary
A benefits package is the collection of non-wage compensations an employer offers alongside salary, typically including health insurance, retirement contributions, paid time off, and similar perks.
The job paid less than I wanted, but the benefits package made up for it.
Companies use competitive benefits packages to attract and retain employees, and the phrase often appears in job listings and salary negotiations.
