COST CONCEPT OF A BENEFIT & SALARY PACKAGE
The cost concept of an employee is made up of 3 components:Salary, Benefits and Overheads.
Companies are increasingly taking the view that they should
offer the senior executive a total compensation package, i.e.
ceiling is set to an employee¶s total compensation.
So each employee can choose the benefits which are useful to
them.
