401(k) Plan — U.S. and Puerto Rico Employees

We are committed to helping our employees save for retirement. Our U.S. 401(k) Plan allows you to contribute on a before-tax basis through automatic payroll deductions. Stryker adds to your savings with matching contributions, so when you contribute at least 8% of your pay, you receive the maximum company match. The Plan also provides for a discretionary employer contribution on top of the match - regardless of how much an employee contributes. For the past 20 years, the discretionary contribution has been 7% of eligible pay. The Company provides eligible employees with a summary plan description of the 401(k) plan that explains the key details. (Note: The Plan for sales employees and the Plan in Puerto Rico have different company contribution levels.)

Discounted Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Employees can purchase Stryker stock at a 5% discount through after-tax payroll deductions. You can also make monthly purchases without paying commissions and maintenance charges.

Short-Term and Long-Term Disability

We offer short- and long-term disability coverage at a percentage of your pay up to the plan maximum. Short-term disability lasts up to 180 days at either 60% or 100% of your wages, after which long-term disability begins at 60% of your wages.

Life Insurance

We provide our employees group life insurance and basic accidental death and dismemberment coverage equal to their annual benefit salary at no cost. You can also purchase supplemental coverage and dependent life insurance.

We also offer a variety of location-specific benefits. Please contact us directly for more details.
