fringe benefit
Workplace bonus perk
A fringe benefit is compensation beyond regular wages—health insurance, retirement contributions, company cars, gym memberships.
The term comes from benefits sitting at the fringe or edge of a salary package rather than at its center: The job doesn't pay much, but the fringe benefits are excellent.
Often shortened to just benefits or perks.
