BENEFITS

If you make your employment decision based on salary only, you’re forgetting about a significant part of the compensation package – employee benefits. It may not be green in your pocket, but it can put more money in the bank – year after year.

The value of a company’s benefit package can vary from as low as 15% to as high as 33% of its payroll. That means for every dollar the company pays you in salary, it spends another $0.15 to $.33 on your benefits.

With a value of 33% of salaries, Sherwin-Williams’ benefit package is one of the best in the business. We’re not just talking short-term benefits like health and dental insurance, but benefits that grow over a lifetime – YOUR lifetime!
