What job benefits should I ask for in my contract negotiations?

Question

In the startup company I work for, my boss can't afford to pay me what he knows I deserve right now (but will hopefully be able to in less than a year) and wants me to hold off and wait. I told him that if I am not going to be compensated financially then at least I should have good benefits.

Besides for insurances and 401ks (which are out due to small company) what should I demand?

How many sick days?
How many vacation days?
How many legal holidays?

What other perks can I request to compensate for my hard work?

Answer 1

Flex time and to work from home some days and 4 ten hour days instead of 5 eight hour days.
