• Benefits relating to employee health, including private medical insurance and income protection, are covered in our review of health benefits.
• A pensions round-up looks at the type of pension schemes in operation, and the level of contributions made to these by employers and employees.
• Company cars and car allowances are covered in our overview of travel benefits.
• A final resource rounds up other benefits and allowances, including:
