With inflation and rising food costs, many companies are starting to add food as benefits and incentives. After Medical and retirement, food and “great coffee” are among the most common benefits being offered.<\/p>\n Alcohol allowance<\/strong><\/p>\n If free food is not enough, one listed benefit (for a job in consumer development) also offers an alcohol allowance. Allowance implies that there is a limit, so it’s not quite an “open bar” policy, but with the recent jump in sin tax, this benefit may appeal to those who like to indulge.<\/p>\n Gym Membership<\/strong><\/p>\n If food and alcohol are\u00a0the opposite of what you want, many companies across sectors and skill levels in South Africa offer free gym membership – either to company gyms, or popular gym groups like Virgin Active or Planet Fitness.<\/p>\n 100% Gautrain costs paid<\/strong><\/p>\n Another common company benefit is access to a company care – or in one case listed, access to a “pool car” for business use. However, a benefit unique to Gauteng, a few companies are offering to pay 100% of employees’ Gautrain costs. No mention of paying e-toll fees, however.<\/p>\n Tax-free salary<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There were at least three job listings offering a tax-free salary at the end of every month. The catch: the positions are for Qatar. Local companies looking to outsource some South African talent to Qatar are also willing to pay for flights, visas and accommodation in the country.<\/p>\n 28 days of leave<\/strong><\/p>\n Paid leave in South Africa is between 15 and 21 days, depending on where you’re working and what work you do. For some lucky software developers, though, the offer of 28 days off (that’s over five weeks) may just sweeten the deal.<\/p>\n 14th cheque<\/strong><\/p>\n A lot of jobs will offer a 13th cheque as an incentive, but at least one company in the 10,000 listed was offering a 14th cheque as an added bonus. The position was for a technical supervisor millwright.
