Secretaries with extra services. Yay or Nay?

We’ve recently promoted my secretary. She’s been consistently hardworking and incredibly loyal over the years and I cant think of anyone else in the team who deserves it more. So congratulations to her!

Only downside now is finding someone who could fill her old position.

During an interview process, I experienced something new. Two different individuals actually offered “extra services” on the side. One of them used the term “benefits” instead.

Obviously, i’m no saint.

It’s just that i’ve never seen or heard of that before. I mean, I’ve heard about it, but not first hand.

Does anyone have any experience with a similar situation? A part of me wants to hire one of the two immediately (the other’s a little overweight), but the more decent part of me is wondering if they can perform professionally if this is what they’re resorting to.
