A measure of the availability of a benefit. The National Compensation Survey presents data on the percent of workers with access to, and participate in employee benefits. Access is defined as the percent of workers in an occupation who are offered a benefit. For example, an employee may have access to an employer sponsored fitness center, but may or may not use it. Participation is defined as the percent of workers that actually participate in the benefit (meeting any service requirements, and if required, paying a share of the cost). The National Compensation Survey publishes participation data for Insurance and Retirement benefits.
