Employee Benefit Plans - Legal Advice, Guidance, & Planning
Employee benefits are non-wage compensations, such as stock options, group insurance, retirement benefits, sick leave, and vacation provided to employees through an employee benefit plan in addition to their wages or salaries. 
You may be surprised to learn that employers are not legally required to provide paid vacation or sick leave to their employees. Nonetheless, if you choose to offer neither, it could put you at a disadvantage when trying to attract high-quality employees.
