Fringe benefits in Germany tend to revolve round canteen meals
Fringe benefits
Pension schemes apart, fringe benefits in Germany tend to revolve round
canteen meals and similar amenities that make the work place more attractive.
There is a growing tendency for larger companies to provide child care and
similar support for young mothers returning to work. Company cars are
common among more senior employees and those who do a great deal of
business travel, although the tax rules on benefits in kind do mean that there is
little or no advantage for many high income earners in accepting a company car
in lieu of salary.
