INTRODUCTION 

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY 

The importance of fringe benefits in sales for policies have been a major concern of sales of labour in both public and private sectors in the recent years. 

The total list of benefits offered today is considerable and is continually growing as sales force look for new may to low sales force, fringe benefits are intended primarily to motivate sales force, fringe benefits are intended primarily to motivate sales force to give better performances and to encourage them to stay with the sales forces. 

In considering fringe benefits in public sector, it is vital to recognize that what may be considered as motivator toady may lose to motivation with time, this may be because what is offered by one or two sales force to start with will be offered by many sales force as they follows suit.

Alternatively, what may have been offered as a reward for exceptional services one year becomes expected and as a matter of right within the next two or three years. 

Fringe benefit programme should be designed to further the sales forces  objective and should in particular be designed to assist in human resources planning. In any high salaries and good incentives payments will be preferred as this type of person will not be so interested in benefits such as pension.

In some cases offering high salaries commission or bonuses may compensate for lack of fringe benefits but owing to the fact that non/cash benefit are taxed highly or not all these have been playing a bigger part in sales force compensation in recent year. 

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Many organization have neglected the areas of fringe benefits, so have concentrated so much on the issue of ways and salaries as a determinant of sales forces benefit.

The statement of the problem, we have to consider how is that;

1. What are the steps to be taken before the fringe benefit can be given to man.

2. Does it add value to the beneficiary or to the organization? 

3. What are the effectiveness and efficiency of fringe benefit in an organization?

1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

2. The effectiveness and efficiency of fringe benefit is that, it makes the company to be well known the organization and also reduces the expenses of the person receiving it. 

3. Fringe benefit value to them because they were opportune to get the benefit. It reduces the expensed of the family responsibilities e.g. paying of house rent, running after commercial bus e.t.c. 

To the company, it helps in advertising the name of the company or organization and add value to them.

All these must be put in place in order to give better performance and it will encourage to say with the work. 

1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The various factors affecting fringe benefit would be discussed. In reference to Cadbury Nigeria Plc Ilorin. The works looks critically into the organization, comparison of many firms in different ways if business would have been more appropriate but due to financial and time constraints. 

1.6 LIMITATION AND CONSTRAINT OF THE STUDY

This case study brings a lot of issue up, that almost cause the project to be stop for sometime, issue like. 

⦁ Financial constraint or insufficient funds. 

⦁ Inability to meet the officials to the interview and 

⦁ Time constraint e.t.c. 

The research work continue when assistance came up from different people for the progress of the project. Meeting the officials is not an easy thing but I patiently wait for them and when they are through they give me attention, but mind you I spend a lot of time before I could question any of there staff. It was a serious challenges on me before I could cope with the lecture and the project, but I still wake up to it, I make sure I meet up the specific time giving to me to visit there company. And find time to write the project, so after my lecture when I get home at the midnight I woke up to write the project. 

CHAPTER TWO 

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCTION

In addition to basic wages, a substantial portion of the total labour cost in many organizations today is made up of fringe benefits. Fringe benefits for sales force represent extra income, additional security or more desirable working conditions that requires no additional effort. Through the return from them way not be readily apparent to employer. Such benefits often satisfy sales force need and want, that are not satisfied by wages, consequently, fringe benefits have importance value in promoting sales force moral, example of these benefit are housing allowance, transport allowance, free medical services, retirement benefits, pay public holiday e.t.c. 

EJIOFOR (184) asserted that fringe benefits contributes to employee needs, fulfillment and they are used to prevent the unions from provoking unnecessary strikes and troubles, and to improve employee morale as unique that are not related to appraise process or employees to have job satisfaction. 

2.2 MOTIVATION OF SALES FORCE

Motivation effort performance reward satisfaction this state that the higher the sales person’s motivation, the greater the effort will lead to greater rewards; greater reward will lead to greater satisfaction, and will enforce motivation. This model implied the following:

Sales management must be able to convince more by working harder or by being trained to work smarter, but if sales are determined largely be economic conditions or competitive actions. 

Sales management must be able to convince sales people that the rewards for better performance are worth the extra effort, but if the rewards seems to be set arbitrary or are small if wrong kind this linkage is undermined.
