The collected data were analyzed through the percentage analysis, Chi Square analysis and Pearson correlation analysis using SPSS and Minitab Software. Findings: The findings of the study showed that there is an association between welfare facilities provided and satisfaction in job. The study explored that welfare facilities significantly impact on the job satisfaction. Analysis also reveals that experience, education level and salary of an employee have associated with the job satisfaction. From the co relation analysis it is evident about the component training and development (r=0.69) being highly correlated to job satisfaction while facility (r=0.47) is least correlated to job satisfaction. Whereas, personal benefits (r=0.55) is moderately correlated to employee welfare, while health benefits (r=0.33) is least correlated to employee welfare.
