CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Organisation has different reward system in effort to motivate their workers' performance. These include monetary and non -monetary rewards. The non - monetary rewards are popularly known as fridge benefits.

Nothing could be further form the truth at the present time. ' Davar Rustoms personal management and industrial Relations, 1 Ot11 Edition (1996) pg 10 defines fringe benefits as extra benefits in addition to normal wage or salary compensation paid to employees. F~ge benefits can be conveniently grouped into broad categories as; payments, without work, retirement benefits, safety and health provisions and recreation benefits. In addition to the above benefits, employees can be provided with counselling and advice services, housing working relationship, transport, pension and funds or leaving grants.
