Hiring the best and brightest people helps drive Intel’s passion for innovative technology that changes the way the world work, lives and plays. At Intel, we believe in sharing that success with employees who have helped us earn it. Discover the comprehensive benefits and compensation packages we offer.

Cash Bonus Programs
Intel has two bonus programs to recognize you for your contributions to the company's success. First, the Employee Cash Bonus Plan (ECBP) is a profit-sharing program tied directly to Intel's financial performance. This program acknowledges employees through a cash payout twice each year. Over the inception of the plan, the corporate average is 7.7 percent of annual eligible income or 20 days pay. Second, the Employee Bonus is based on individual and business group performance, as well as corporate earnings per share. This reward is paid out once each year and could represent as much as 1 to 4% of your eligible earnings.

Stock Programs
At Intel, our employees own a stake in the company. Through Intel's Stock Option Plan, full and part-time employees may be eligible to receive options based on their past performance and anticipated future contributions. Additionally, all employees are encouraged to enroll in the Stock Participation Plan, a program that offers employees an opportunity to purchase Intel stock at a price lower than the fair market value through convenient payroll deductions.

Benefits
In addition to these compensation programs, Intel offers a variety of important benefit programs to protect the well-being of you and your eligible family members, including same-sex domestic partners. Beginning your first day of employment, Intel offers comprehensive medical, dental, vision, disability and group life insurance coverage for you, as well as voluntary coverage options for your family members.

Sabbaticals and Vacations
Every seven years, all regular full-time employees in the United States are entitled to an eight-week sabbatical with pay, in addition to normal vacation and personal time off. We also offer a competitive vacation program in the U.S., in addition to nine holidays and a "floating" holiday every year. Globally, we offer packages varying by location. Please refer to your country of interest for specific information.

Awards
Every day, Intel employees are making an impact — something that doesn't go unrecognized. Outstanding performance by individuals and organizations is recognized and encouraged through Intel's award systems. Awards range from formal recognition at the corporate level to spontaneous employee-to-employee awards presented at the department level.
