probably try to get rid of me and get someone with a lower pay scale
as per policy no consequence
Poorly worded question, what does it mean that the company is using your benefits too much. So you mean that you are using the benefits promised by your company?
I am not aware of the consequences, but I have felt that when people use extended leave they are not considered for promotions anymore.
Health benefits? Time off benefits? Not sure there's any impact on the company.
not gonna be good if you are taking advantage of anyone,especially the place you work
fired, have to pay back, possible legal actions, privileges suspended
None. If the didn't expect you to use them, they wouldn't offer them.. Unless a benefit like a gym interferes with your job performance
Using medical benefits will not have any impact at an ethical company. Over using sick days or late arrivals is the most common cause for involuntary terminations at most companies
First a discussion, then taking away a company cc, or denying expense reports.
Possible referral to an employee assistance program or disciplinary action.
What is too much?...I'm positive answer varies greatly between companies.
Too much is a relative term. Benefits are there for a reason, use them responsibly. Excessive or inappropriate use does drive costs. For example, if you have health insurance don't go to the emergency room unless you have a true emergency. Instead, use your flex time or PTO to schedule appointments with your primary care doctor. Opt for generic medications instead if name brand.
I'm honestly not certain how I *could* use my benefits too much. If this is in regards to time off, we manage unlimited time off through open conversations with managers and alignment of schedules and deadlines. If taking days off without approval or notice, this would be taking advantage of the team around me; there's no reason to operate in such a way, and ultimately this would go outside the realm of intended benefits. I'm unaware of any benefits which can be taken advantage of in such a manner, and so wouldn't expect any reprisals or other consequences.
hopefully a promotion
There shouldn't be consequences as long as you use benefits within allowable parameters
Should be nothing.
None -- they actually provide a lot of little extras. It's very nice.
You’ll probably just be less likely to be promoted.
This doesn't make sense clarify "benefits". Though as long as you are not breaking company policy one should be ok. It might be courteous to not take off two week in the middle of the busies time though.
