That's interesting. You'd think that would be irrational for the company as a whole, no? If your employees are paying for their own housing, meals, transportation, massages, etc., instead of the company taking those on as business expenses, then for every US$1000 the company saves on expenses, it has to pay its employees US$1300 or so in higher salaries to make up for it, with the other US$300 going to income tax, payroll tax, etc. What's wrong with my thinking, or is this really true?


Its just one of the dozens of sneaky ways that less than moral companies say they're paying employees competitive rates and then... don't.
