What are government employee benefits?

The term perks is often used colloquially to refer to those benefits of a more discretionary nature. Often, perks are given to employees who are doing notably well and/or have seniority. Common perks are company cars, hotel stays, free refreshments, leisure activities on work time (golf, etc.), stationery, allowances for lunch, and – when multiple choices exist – first choice of such things as job assignments and vacation scheduling. They may also be given first chance at job promotions when vacancies exist.
