Industry Benefits Summary

Rental and Leasing Services Industry- Employee Benefits Summary

The rental and leasing sub-sector focuses on providing a variety of tangible goods; vehicles, computers, industrial machinery, etc.; to customers in exchange for a recurring rental or lease payment. This industry is split between two types of establishments: those that deal with consumer goods, and those that deal with machinery and equipment used in business operations.

Rental and leasing employees must have an intimate knowledge of financial policies depending on the establishment they work for. Learning the ins and outs of rental and leasing legalities takes time and training; any businesses looking to bring the best candidates on board will need to sweeten the pot with extensive employee benefits packages.

Higher employee turnover rates and percentage of part time workers can make benefit offering and administration somewhat more difficult than the average industry. The average employee demographic can range significantly from a high school senior to a retired senior citizen, each with different motivations for working. To create a custom benefit package, an employer needs to know their specific group of employees.
