Editor's Note
 Onsite health clinics and wellness centers provide health and savings Some big-name companies are offering convenient, low-cost health care services in their offices and are cutting costs as a result. Supreme Court won't hear case that would have required higher retiree benefits The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to review a decision made by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia in AARP vs. EEOC that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's rule permitting employers to coordinate their health benefits for retirees with Medicare was "legal and reasonable." The Appeals Court said that "over time, it will likely benefit all retirees." Onsite day care makes mandatory Saturday workdays a family affair Accountants know that mandatory Saturdays during tax season will be, well, taxing.

While 37 percent of chief financial officers interviewed said offering higher compensation than competitors is the most effective incentive for attracting accounting professionals, nearly as many (33 percent) felt the benefits package had the greatest influence, up from just 2 percent five years ago. Improved benefits added to companies on 2007 America's Best Workplaces list Support of employees raising families, more flexibility, and more fun at work than ten years ago, are some of the benefits added to America's best workplaces, according to the Great Place to Work Institute which partners with FORTUNE to produce the annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" list.
