Over one third of Irish workers (36 per cent) said they are not provided with a pension or PRSA by their employer according to a survey published today by RecruitIreland.com.
However, more than half the respondents said they were provided with private health insurance.
Ms Sinead Johnson of RecruitIreland.com said: "The fact that over one third of the respondents stated that neither a pension or PRSA is offered, suggests either widespread breaches of the applicable PRSA legislation or high levels of confusion about the availability of such products."
"Either way, the issue should be a cause of concern for both employers and financial services providers and regulators," she added.
The survey found that 65 per cent of workers stated gym membership as the perk of choice, while 62 per cent said they would like to have dental care.
The survey also found that despite gridlock and lack of parking over 60 per cent of the respondents used the car as their main means of transport to work.
There was also an overwhelming endorsement of the ban on smoking in the workplace with 87 per cent satisfied with how the ban is being implemented.
Over 470 people from all over the country responded to the survey.
