Ah well.  My company does offer a "pre-tax" account for paying childcare, which I appreciate.  We admins must get access to all the bennies provided for the *guys,* so naturally there is a 401k AND (amazingly) a pension plan.  Our pre-tax payable benefits also include a medical reimbursement account, a variety of life insurance policies (which you can extend to your family) and "long term care" insurance (which you can also buy for your parents, spouse or children).



Of course, if the unions ever got their slimey little tentacles in the door the *guys* would continue to negotiate for the goodies and (since unions have no interest in the *little people*), we no doubt would lose out.



Interestingly, we have an "emergency response" plan in place, which includes 24-hour childcare arrangements for those of us who will be needed to work until the "emergency" is resolved (could take weeks if it is bad).
