Disability Insurance, often called DI or disability income insurance, or income protection, is a form of insurance that insures the beneficiary's earned income against the risk that a disability creates a barrier for a worker to complete the core functions of their work.

For example, the worker may suffer from an inability to maintain composure in the case of psychological disorders or an injury, illness or condition that causes physical impairment or incapacity to work.

It encompasses paid sick leave, short-term disability benefits (STD), and long-term disability benefits (LTD).

Statistics show that in the US a disabling accident occurs, on average, once every second.

In fact, nearly 18.5% of Americans are currently living with a disability, and 1 out of every 4 persons in the US workforce will suffer a disabling injury before retirement.

Employee benefits and (especially in British English) benefits in kind (also called fringe benefits, perquisites, or perks) include various types of non-wage compensation provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries.

In instances where an employee exchanges (cash) wages for some other form of benefit is generally referred to as a 'salary packaging' or 'salary exchange' arrangement.

In most countries, most kinds of employee benefits are taxable to at least some degree.

Full-time employment is employment in which a person works a minimum number of hours defined as such by his/her employer.

Full-time employment often comes with benefits that are not typically offered to part-time, temporary, or flexible workers, such as annual leave, sickleave, and health insurance.

Part-time jobs are mistakenly thought by some to not be careers.

However, legislation exists to stop employers from discriminating against part-time workers so this should not be a factor when making decisions on career advancement.

They generally pay more than part-time jobs per hour, and this is similarly discriminatory if the pay decision is based on part-time status as a primary factor.
