U.S. Financial Security and Wealth Accumulation Programs

  • Competitive Compensation
    Medtronic's objective is to competitively reward employee performance and development. The market value of jobs in relevant labor markets determines the overall pay parameters; an individual's actual total compensation is determined by their contributions and development.
  • 401(k) plan with company match
    Employees are eligible to enroll immediately. Employees can contribute up to 75% of their eligible pre-tax income to their plan and Medtronic will match $.50 – $1.50 for every dollar employees contribute up to the first 6% of pay. The match is made in cash and is based on company performance.
  • Medtronic Retirement Plan
    There is no employee contribution to this plan and all regular employees are automatically enrolled in the plan after one year of service.
  • ESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Plan)
    Employees can contribute up to 10% of their eligible after tax income to purchase Medtronic stock at 85% of the market value as of the end of the quarter.
