I guess if i work for a company which pay a great salary l’ll be able to put something away or invest them somehow there will be no need for pension or other benefits

In Perú most of jobs dont offer any kind of social insurance what can be really depressing, but I think joining a international company that operates at big scale is highly able to match all aspects of worker´s insurance.

Life is so tough in US right now, they don’t even think abouk giving health insurance.

Health insurance is a MUST for most of companies in our city, and that’s the only benifits I have from the company I am working for. A pension? whew, i do not dare to think about it. Yet, some companies in our country, like oil companies, banks, their employees got so many benifits from their companies, so i do not know i should say it is fair or unfair.

u must get benefits from every thing in ur life

Well, I don’t work yet, but employees here get all sorts of benefits, like no matter what your job is you get a pension. Also, some companys may give their employees a scholarship for a higher education. And about health insurance, it’s already given to any Bahraini citizen.

There are a lot of employees all over the world have to accept their jobs without any benefits and even without health insurance, because they don’t have any other choices they have to live and feed their children.

 I have a friend in Seattle  working at the Boeing company , the aircraft company  matches the money  that each month he sends   to the church  he is affiliated  with.  

In Argentine when  you lost your paid job  you are entitled to  submit an application  to the government to  receive some help in the form of money.  While working ,your employer  deduct  money from your salary  and sends  it to social security  in case you and your family needs health treatments. We don´t have retirements plans as putting away money for your future, instead  each month  a cut of your salary is sent to social security  and  at 65 years for men and 60 for women they  can retire and receive a pension for life.  In the US, many people  are working  receiving minimum wages and for them   health insurance benefits are almost nonexistent, medical and dental care cost a fortune. I have been told by a  Canadian  retired man that in his country  he has  free access to  health benefits but while working  he had been sending  each month a big chunk of his salary to pay taxes  

At the moment I’m unemployed but in Portugal we have the social security and you have to pay every month a tax of 11% of your salary. This includes health (we just have to pay a small amount when you need to go to the Hospital for sirgury or medical assistance – dental assistence not included) and also for retirement or unemployment. Even though, some private companies pays health insure and other benefits like cell phone, car and bonus.

In my case I get a payment every month from de Social Security for being unemployed, for 18 month.

I get benefits from my job. Healt insurance and retirement fund. There are some others benefits too. Maybe too small but still make me happy. For example when I wanted to buy museum card I only paid the halp amount of the price through my job.

I am looking for a job but I have benefits through my husband. In my country a benefits are common for both government employee and private sector employee like health insurance  retirement funds, and other benefits. In addition we  dont pay taxes in our country .

The point of the retirement benefits in my opinion is not just getting enough money but also it’s kind of an appreciation to you by your company and when get a job gives such an appreciation you can do anything for it, unfortunately we don’t have enough benefits but hopefully in the future everything is gonna change I Keep my fingers crossed.

I think in most parts of the world, people get benefits from their jobs. And I also think that the more benefits jobs give, the more workers get motivated ;)

Getting benefits is common in my country especially people who work as a full time. They are able to get all of the benefits from their employers such as health insurance, pension plan, and even dental plan. It has become a social contract in all country. However, there are differnent coverage of insurance. I mean if you pay more for each  plan, they cover maximum percentage of insurance for you. Also, many companies accept to match employees’ salary and cover significant other and children insurance with full coverage. It was common in old guard that they tried to put anything away to compensate their insurance, but it is rare right now.

i do get benefits in my job. other business companies give benefits to their employees that is encouraging them to do best in their jobs.

I think, we have some faults in organization system in all over the world. To respect for the goverments, we see an overt discrimination between govermental corporations and non-goverments, for example in Iran, if you are lucky enough to be hired in a govermental company, you can get constant salary and many benefits for sure, such as retirement fund and health insurance or using discount coupons for shopping and other stuff, but what happen for non-govermental employees?? Nothing!! they just pay more taxes without any important govermental benefits. This contrast shows a gap in society, some people grow on by weak bureacratic system and others must try to do their best for making money more even with high pressure and stress.
