New Delhi: Google has often been ranked as one of the best places to work. This reputation has been earned largely due to amenities offered to employees, such as laundry, dry cleaning and automotive services, swimming spas, gourmet meals, on-site massage and free on-site doctors. Now we can also add post-death benefits to the list.
In an interview with Forbes, Google's Chief People Officer Laszlo Bock said that the Internet giant has "announced death benefits at Google." Under this employee benefit, rolled out in 2011 for Google's US employees, the surviving spouse or partner will receive an annual payment equivalent to the dead employee's salary for 10 years.
There is also no tenure requirement to be eligible for the benefit. In addition children of the dead employee will receive a monthly payment of $1000 until they turn 19 or 23 in case the child is a full-time student.
When IBNLive enquired whether the benefits will also be made available to Google employees in India, a Google India representative said that Google is working on a plan to implement the scheme in its India offices.
In a recent study Google India was ranked as the best place to work for in India. The company was rated No. 1 on the list for the third consecutive year.
