My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Illinois
I have asked for a car and gas allowance at work and the owner has agreed to give me 500/ month above and beyond my weekly salary. However he told me he like to give me this incentive through Cafeteria 125. I've never heard of this and the little I've read about it, it doesn't seem this plan is directed for this type of incentive. Am I correct on this?
Why would he be reluctant to give me an accounts payable check for this amount, is it because of taxes? Can't the company expense this monthly amount?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
