Intel's benefits plans are designed to keep employees—our most important asset—healthy and productive. Our benefits are generous and personalized, in many cases letting employees choose the options that are right for themselves and their family.
Intel Ireland provides a choice of comprehensive medical plans that assure cost-effective and flexible health care for employees and their eligible dependents (spouse/significant other, and children).
Intel Ireland's retirement plan is unique; it combines a defined benefit/pension guarantee based on final earnings and length of service, and a discretionary payment made by Intel to individual pension funds. To further improve retirement savings, employees may make additional voluntary tax-free contributions.
Spouse/Dependent Pension
In the event of an employee's death, pensions are provided for his/her spouse, and for up to three dependent children.
Death in Service Benefit
Intel Ireland provides a lump sum to the estate in the case of an employee's death while in service.

Eligible Intel Ireland employees absent due to illness or injury for more than 26 weeks may be referred to the income protection program, through which a portion of the employee's salary would be paid.
