At one time in the past, I think by a real estate agent, I was told employees had some benefits. It was Villages school for their children, free checking at Citizens or some other discount there as I think all checking is free, discount on golf as a non resident, discount on home mortgage by one half percent, discounts at Villages owned retail places (Southern Lifestyles, Villages Golf Carts, etc.) and a couple other things which I forget now. If they live in The Villages, they pay the same fees and get the same perks as everyone. Most employers provide employees some type of discount on the products they sell. I still get discounts on IBM products as a retired employee. Just bought this new laptop from Lenovo which IBM sold 10 years ago, but they retained the employee discount accessibility.

So I guess getting a free pass on the Amenities fee might be a stretch, as that is supposed to be resident based and controlled by the over 55 retirement community rules, but giving employees perks is a well established business practice. Free amenities would probably create other issues like how do you handle employee children and tee time priority to mention a couple. So my guess is they do get perks, but I bet it is not free amenities.
