The findings of the study showed that employees benefit programs may he as a result of government legislation, voluntary and miscellaneous benefits It was discovered that employee benefit programs are offered as a supplement to wages and salaries and such benefits programs are aimed to induce employees loyalty and induce happier employee and retain competent employees, and this implied that where there are improper employee benefit programs, labour turnover is inevitable.
