Which are examples of employee benefits?

• A. Salary Bonuses, Stock Options
• B. Paid Vacation, Sick Leave, Health Insurance, Holiday Pay
• C. Office Furniture
• D. Travel Reimbursements

Answer: (B)

Employee benefits are the non-wage forms of compensation provided to employees to support health, welfare, and time off, in addition to their regular pay. The examples shown—paid vacation, sick leave, health insurance, and holiday pay—fit this definition because they offer paid time off and employer-funded health coverage, improving financial security and overall well-being beyond the base salary.

In contrast, salary bonuses and stock options are part of direct compensation and vary with performance or equity grants. Office furniture is a one-time provisioning item rather than ongoing compensation. Travel reimbursements are reimbursements for specific expenses incurred while doing work and are generally considered expense reimbursements rather than ongoing benefits.
