    The significance of the construction industry in modern times is undeniable considering the fact that it has become the mainstay of economic development of the nation. The kind of benefits given to the workforce undeniably has a resultant effect on their attitude to work. This is because the workforce regarding their manners, character, willingness and competence among others unquestionably is a determinant towards their readiness to work and ensure productivity at the worksite. The study therefore sought to evaluate the perquisites of work force for enhanced productivity in construction projects. The following constituted the objectives of the study; to identify the perquisites that exist in the construction projects at the Krowoh Municipal Assembly and identify the relevance of perquisites in increasing productivity in construction at the Krowoh Municipal Assembly. The Assembly has an estimated population of about 120 working staff. A 30% of the population thus 30 sample was used for the study. Both purposive sampling and simple random sampling techniques were used for the sample selection. It is conclusive that, enabling workers enjoy the right benefits in construction work has the propensity to affect productivity directly. About 57% and 67% response rate on attractive Salary/Wages and weekly incentives respectively indicated how these factors are needed to affect productivity. It was recommended that workers should be given salaries and wages attractive enough. Also, workers should be incentivized as often as possible. In all these, supervision of workers should be regular. This enables employers have adequate assessment of how benefits given workers are affecting construction projects.
