I desperately need examples of "unique fringe benefits" for term paper, please help!?

Question

I'm looking for things other than the usual health and dental type stuff. The more different and interesting, the better. Also, addresses to the info so I can find it myself and cite my sources is a must! I could even use some suggestions on where to look if you don't have a specific address or source. Something that will send me in the right direction would help. I've spent the last 8 1/2 hours on this and I'm not finding anything but a headache. Thanks:)

Tax-free fringe benefits


Some fringe benefits are tax-free and do not need to be entered on your tax return. These include:-


contributions paid by your employer into an approved occupational or personal pension scheme for the employee. Nearly all schemes are included
cheap or free canteen meals, if these are provided for all employees, even if separate facilities are provided for different groups of employees
in-house sports facilities
counselling services to redundant employees
childcare for children aged under 18
works buses, or subsidies to public bus services, to get employees to and from work
bicycles and cycling safety equipment provided for employees to get to and from work and workplace parking for bicycles and motorcycles
the loan by the employer of computer equipment up to the value of £2,000. Benefit in excess of £2,000 will be taxed in the normal way
luncheon vouchers of no more than 15p a working day
reasonable removal expenses if you have to move to take up a new job or are transferred by your employer
genuine personal gifts given for reasons unconnected with the job, for example, retirement gifts other than cash, or wedding gifts
gifts, other than cash, that you receive from someone other than your employer, for example, seats at sporting or cultural events, providing that any gift or outing is not worth more than £100
if you are disabled, equipment and facilities provided for you to carry out your job.

Answer 3

Retirement funds, like 401K's.

Those aren't terribly unique, though - they are getting common.

Unique ones I've heard of:
Living quarters - apartments or condos.
Cars
Trips/vacations
Stock options (shares of stock in the company given to you, which will likely increase in value over time)
Tickets for events
