That second one is very bad. I think every sentence could be worded better; including the title. Maybe you could rewrite the ad and send it to the. They might hire you for that alone.

You are probably going to see more and more of that (no paid benefits). Actually I'm a believer. Employers shouldn't be in the benefit business (none). The employee should get what they are worth in pay and buy their own benefits out of that. If the government wants to give away health care and all the rest then that should be the government not the employer. Think of how much simpler and efficient it would be for business.

You can thank the Unions for that, or not. I think removing employers and government from insurance would make it much more affordable and easier to understand. Without free choice based upon responsibility without govt regs and mandates, the cost is always inflated.

For the record, don't blame the unions. They didn't start it.

During WWII, wage and price controls prevented companies from hiring workers. The government ruled that so-called "fringe benefits" (i.e., housing allowances, health insurance, vacation and sick leave, etc.) didn't count as "wages" (even though they wmight be taxable, in some cases).

Employers implimented these employee benefit packages as ways to attract more workers without having to go over the imposed wage controls. And, as everyone should be aware, employer-provided benefits are tax-deductions for employers and (generally) non-taxable to the employees.

That's exactly correct about the history of "fringe benefits."

"Cafeteria Plan" offers some tax exempt benefits to employees.
