no benefits
Nothing extra included
No benefits describes employment that doesn't include health insurance, retirement contributions, paid leave, or other compensation beyond wages.
The phrase typically appears in job listings or descriptions of work arrangements: It's part-time, no benefits.
Often signals precarious or gig-economy work where employees bear costs that employers traditionally covered.
