perks
Sweeteners beyond salary
Perks are benefits or advantages that come with a position, membership, or situation—extras beyond the basic compensation or expectation.
The word is short for perquisites: The job doesn't pay much, but the perks are great.
Company cars, free meals, and gym memberships are typical workplace perks.
The word has expanded beyond employment: One of the perks of living downtown is walking to everything.
