Employment Benefits (OI2742)

This metric is intended to capture the benefits provided to employees of the organization. Organizations may select from the list provided. Organizations are also encouraged to capture employee participation in each benefit using Employment Benefits Uptake (OI8865), which can be helpful in identifying which benefits are accessible and which are too costly for employees to use.

Benefits mentioned may be offered either directly by the organization or by regional governmental programs in the region of operations. Examples of types of benefits to footnote are included below.

Typical benefits provided to employees include health insurance, dental insurance, disability coverage, life insurance, maternity/paternity leave, paid time off, retirement provisions, and stock ownership, among others.

Some organizations also offer supplementary benefits, which organizations are encouraged to report if they provide. These may include onsite childcare, offsite subsidized childcare, counseling services, and education subsidies, among others.

Organizations may choose to report this metric in conjunction with related metrics giving contextual information, such as Healthcare Benefits Premium Covered (OI1503).

Examples of additional details to footnote include: which of these benefits, if any, are provided to full-time employees with a minimum tenure at the organization versus which are provided to all full-time employees; which of these benefits, if any, are provided to salaried versus non-salaried employees; and other relevant details about eligibility requirements.
