Experience valuable benefits

Among Grant Thornton's list of eligible dependents are same sex domestic partners, subject to certain provisions, and their children.

Compensation benefits
At Grant Thornton, you'll be recognized for your talent and hard work through a competitive bonus program paid out at the end of the fiscal year. Grant Thornton rewards its people through a "pay for performance" philosophy. This means your bonus award will depend on your job performance, e.g. skill development, engagement/project assignments and meeting overall job expectations.

Eligible participants include all active, full-time and part-time (flexible/reduced work arrangement) exempt personnel.

Health, dental, vision and well-being benefits
Medical, dental and vision care coverage is available to eligible employees and their eligible dependents. Costs are paid by the employee through payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis.

At Grant Thornton, vacation, sick and personal days are combined into a single Paid Time Off (PTO) bank, designed to give you more flexibility in using your paid time off. The number of PTO days you receive is based on years of service with the firm, organization level and employment status.

In addition to PTO, Grant Thornton offers a minimum of seven paid holidays per year.

401(k) Savings and Retirement plans
As a Grant Thornton employee or partner, you are eligible to participate in the firm's 401(k) plan and will automatically be enrolled in the firm's Employee Retirement Plan.

With multiple investment options, eligible employees may begin participating in the firm's 401(k) plan after thirty days of employment. Employees vest at 20 percent per year of service and are fully vested in the employer match after five years of service.

The Employee Retirement Plan is 100 percent paid by Grant Thornton and is designed to supplement benefits received form the Employee Savings Plan and Social Security benefits. Employees with three full years of service with Grant Thornton are vested and eligible for this retirement benefit.
