el sector de compensaciones
Explanation:
"comped" is a common hospitality industry abbvreviation for
a "compensation" i.e. a free product, drink or food, for one reason or another. If the item is "comped", it needs to be entered - accounting-wise - into free goods, not sales.
I am absolutely sure of this, having been involved in the hospitality industry for many years. However, there may be a better Spanish expression for it, hence my only putting a "medium" on my confidence level. Hopefully, the explanation will help.

Explanation:
De acuerdo con lo que dice Swisstell, pero no estoy segura de que compensaciones es la palabra correcta; sugiero como otra posibilidad bonificaciones o gratificaciones, porque son cosas o ventajas que recibe un empleado.
