Employee benefits include benefits provided to employees or their dependants or beneficiaries and may be settled by payments (or the provision of goods or services) made directly to the employees, their spouses, children, or other dependants or others, such as insurance companies. Defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans.
Post-employment benefits include items such as the following:
(a) Retirement benefits (e.g. pensions and lump sum payments on retirement); and
(b) Other post-employment benefits, such as post-employment life insurance and post-employment medical care.
Further, Post-employment benefit plans can classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans, depending on the economic substance of the plan as derived from its principal terms and conditions.
