Introduction Besides the incentive systems and variable pay, other reward given are in term of financial support,

health and safety. These financial supports consist of compensation, social security and unemployment insurance while health and safety is in term of procedures. Body Structures 1. Employee Benefits Compensation is to provide financial support to employees that get injury when they are conducting their work while for the retirees social security board will gives them financial support. The funds come from payment made by employers, employees and self-employed workers. For the third financial support, unemployment insurance gives support to employees who are laid off for reasons that they cannot control. Organization needs to pay for each of the employees that has been terminated thus it means organizations are needed to pay less if the number of employees that are terminated is lesser. There are lot more of benefits that an organization can provide to the employees thus to suite different benefits with different interest of each employees, a system called flexible benefit programs has been designed where this system gives a flexibility to employees to spend on credit to benefits they desire. 2. Legal Issues in Compensation and Benefits Even though the benefits are given to each of the employees, there are still issues occur in an organization like discrimination of gender. Unequal pay seldom occurs in a big country like United States. From the study of U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics on the Median Weekly Income for major occupational work for the fourth quarter 2010, the data shows that all the occupations involved in the studies stated that the earning income for men is higher compared to women. Thus, a comparable-worth doctrine is designed which it implies that women who perform different jobs with equal worth should get equal pay. Other than that, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 also been restricted which qualifies a woman to receive the same benefits with any other disability. 3. Safety & Health For the last benefit, safety and health, it requires the employers to provide a safety workplace to their employees and also gives briefing to their employees about the safety procedures at the workplace. The safety of the workplace is restricted by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
