I'd expect to see jobs start offering more non-monetary compensation as you get closer to that threshold.
But it can't be the case, because the tax has to be paid anyways. Any non-monetary compensation that do not implies spending money means you get a hug and a kiss for working more for less.

Not if it's things like childcare or other services you'd otherwise have to pay for. I don't know what that looks like in the UK, but employer benefits are huge here, precisely because they're tax advantaged.
Tax regimes are very different every where.

You are paying for that, hence it's not non-monetary.

Compensation in kind is called "non-monetary". You'll have to take that complaint to the Council of Economic Terminology.

Conceded, but then what's the argument? You have to pay for everything anyways so, there's nothing they can actually offer in exchange of more precarization.

I was just saying what I'd expect to see. I'm not saying it's good. Like all taxes it's dumb, destructive, and distortionary.
