US Benefits and Stock

The benefits on this page apply to regular, full-time employees

Our benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you worked and how long you’ve worked for us. They also depend on your job status, such as seasonal or temporary employment.

Health

• With our medical plan options, you can pick the right coverage for you and your eligible family members. You can choose from several plans. These include a health savings account (with employee and employer contributions), and multiple network providers for the best care in your area.
• Certain plans offer additional, personalised support for cancer, diabetes, physical therapy, fertility treatment and family-building services.
• Our Employee Assistance Programme, detailed below, provides mental health support at no cost to you.
• You can also enrol in dental and vision plans and a flexible spending account for health and dependent care.

Financial security

• Pension. Our plan lets you defer compensation for your long-term savings and includes a company match. The plan offers a variety of investment options to help you reach your goals.
• Company-paid basic life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance. You can enrol in additional coverage for you and your dependents.
• Company-paid short-term and long-term disability insurance.

Restricted stock units

Most of our employees can become owners of the company through the granting and vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs). We’re always looking at ways to provide other types of ownership opportunities for all employees.
