fringe benefits
Non-salary compensation additions
Fringe benefits are compensation beyond regular wages—health insurance, retirement contributions, company cars, gym memberships.
The term originated when such perks were minor additions at the fringe of a salary package, though today they often constitute a significant portion of total compensation: The salary was modest, but the fringe benefits made up for it.
