Government and nonprofit sector employees now have a new reward for their hard work. Employees of these public sector agencies are eligible to receive added benefits through a new program created specifically for them: the Government Employees MarketPlace.The Government Employees MarketPlace was created so that state, local, federal, military and nonprofit employees could easily access discounts for personal use while saving time in the process. This online shopping portal boasts member savings and discounts on thousands of products and services with no fee to join and free access to its exclusive deals. The Government Employees MarketPlace is the first of its kind on the Web to identify key discounts exclusively for public sector employees. Companies featured on the site include Dell, Hertz, Office Depot, T-Mobile, Federal Express, Tech Depot, and VPI Pet Insurance. Discounts range from 5% to 15% among the more than 3,000 discounts offered by over 1,000 merchants. As much as $3,000 a year can be saved by adding up the deals offered by these and other brand names.The program also features local access - providing members with information on local gas prices, dining and grocery deals, as well as functions such as a travel search and a baby sitter finder. Local access also allows users to refer local providers and manufacturers to the site for featured discounts they offer locally to government employees or the public at large.
