Benefits Summary
Benefits
The retention rate at Linear Technology is one of the highest in the Silicon Valley. We can partially attribute this to our strong total compensation package. With the most generous profit sharing program in the world, we take pride in the unique work ethic that such a program fosters. The success of the individual contributes directly to the success of the entire organization. But the rewards do not end with profit sharing. LTC's total compensation package includes a variety of medical plans with a low contribution rate, 401(k), stock options for eligible positions and an employee stock purchase plan to ensure the continued dedication of our employees.
Profit Sharing
Profit sharing bonuses are paid out in January and July. New hires are subject to a prorated condition for their first three payouts. To be eligible, the new hire must complete a full six-month period (January-June or July-December). In the last five years, LTC's profit sharing percentage has ranged from 29% to 68% of an employee's semiannual base pay.
Sabbatical Plan
After completion of five years' continuous employment, employees are eligible to take sabbatical leave. Exempt employees receive 6 weeks of sabbatical leave. SNE/hourly employees receive 4 weeks of sabbatical leave.
Stock Purchase Plan
The program has two offering periods each year. Employees can elect to contribute either 5% or 10% of their earnings. The deducted funds will be used to purchase common stock, up to a maximum of 300 shares at 85% of the closing stock price on the last trading day of the offering period.
401(k) Plan
LTC's 401 (k) Plan is administered by Diversified Investment Advisors. Enrollments occur quarterly with no waiting period to join. A percentage of the profit sharing is directly contributed into all employees' 401(k) accounts at each payout.Tuition Reimbursement
