It's been long reported that Google treats its employees well, from offering them free food and fitness classes
to laundry service and car washes. But according to a recent report,
Google recently rolled out death benefits to employees, including a
generous offer to pay the spouse or partner of a deceased staffer half
of their salary for a decade.
The news of these death benefits — which was first reported by Forbes — also comes with "no tenure requirement," but it covers only U.S. employees right now. It was put into place earlier this year.
Mashable confirmed with a Google spokesperson that the benefits don't just stop at salary. The surviving spouse or partner of a deceased employee will also acquire vested stock benefits, and children will receive $1,000 a month until the age of 19. The timeline can be extended if the child is in school full time.
Google is dream company for any one.
