Abstract

The present article presents the results of an investigation about the use of extra-salary benefits as a strategy for payment complementation. By studying authors that deal with salary policies based on the capitalist system scope, a retrospective was made in regard to  the use of benefits as a form of reward to workers. The loss of purchase power of the minimum wage since its implementation in Brazil is also perceived as an incentive for new ways of payment, and consequently, of benefits. The data resultant from a field research carried out in companies located in a mid-sized city in the interior of Paraná, enabled a comparison with the results of another survey  made by a consultant enterprise at national level. That comparison allowed for an analysis of the benefits practiced by companies in the researched region and of the importance  of such benefits to the employees of those businesses.
