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 offers private medical insurance benefits to all regular United Kingdom employees. Dependent coverage is available at group rates. Employees following the managed care process of CIGNA incur no out-of-pocket costs. Employees opting not to follow the managed-care process pay the first £100 in any given year. Free medical screening and "well-woman" checkups are available periodically depending upon age.

Intel provides employees with a voluntary defined contribution plan. Intel matches the basic level employee contributions of three to five percent. Employees may make extra voluntary contributions up to an additional five percent. This is matched by Intel at 0.25 percent for each additional one percent of the extra voluntary contribution. Employees may make an additional 'Top Up' contribution up to 60 percent without Intel contribution. Intel may make an additional discretionary annual contribution depending on company performance. Total contributions are subject to the annual allowance as per legislation.

Subject to medical underwriting requirements of the insurers, all regular employees at Intel United Kingdom are covered by a group life insurance plan that covers four times the amount of an employee's salary (plus Employee Bonus payout) in the event of death in service, and one-third of an employee's salary for Spouse Pension. Intel offers Income Protection benefits in the event of long-term sickness or absence from work, subject to the medical assessment of the insurer. The benefit pays 75 percent of Total Cash Remuneration less the State Incapacity Benefit, with the maximum benefit of £100,000 per annum. The benefit is paid if approved by the insurance company and until the earliest of employee's recovery, retirement, or death.

In addition to basic life insurance, Intel United Kingdom provides business traveller accident coverage benefits for all employees. Business traveller accident coverage equals five times an employees' annual salary up to $1 million (U.S.).
