Every company would like to have in his team the best, educated and clever people. However, educated person, who can assess their potential, expected in addition to adequate salary also various benefits. Therefore, it is not easy to hire him but also to maintain him. If the company appreciates its employees, offers them besides wage or salary also various non-financial benefits, which increase their loyalty and performance quality. Employee remuneration is an important function of personnel management from which uncoil other activities and relationships in the enterprise. Although each enterprise uses its own system of remuneration, it is always an important element of motivations and makes the company more attractive for potential job applicants. Nowadays, every company should be interested in actual state and news in remuneration and thereby enhances its competitiveness in the market and improves the company image. The aim of this paper is to bring about comprehensive look at the issue of employee benefits with separate attention to non-financial benefits as well as analyze and compare the system of non-financial benefits used in the enterprises in Slovakia. In addition, we observe the distribution of non-financial benefits given the ownership of enterprises. The analysis is done on the basis of the secondary data from the salary survey. Employee remuneration should support the achievement of strategic and short-term objectives by helping to ensure skilled and motivated workforce that enterprise needs and is needed paid adequate attention to this issue.
