Goods and services furnished to employees free of charge or at markedly reduced cost that are clearly and primarily of benefit to the employee.
- Fair benefits comprise things such as health care, social security (including proper facilitation of employee participation in governmental systems), voluntary savings systems, food, drink, transportation fuel, other payments in kind, and cost, other than capital cost, of workers’ housing borne by employers. These benefits must not be considered as a replacement for any regular wages.*
