No, what I said was that the value attributed to the benefits wasn't equivalent to cash.
i.e. if I have a 12K health insurance plan, and my company says they "contribute" 9K, they're not going to give me the option to take a 9K raise if I opt out.
Also, the rules on this might be different for a larger or smaller company. Read my freaking posts will ya...
