- Meredith offers employees many benefits to help meet financial goals and protect employees' financial future, such as:
| Benefit | Description |
| Pension Plan | Meredith makes contributions on your behalf to a pension plan in which you become fully vested once certain service requirements are met. |
| 401(k) Plan | You may save for retirement with tax-free dollars. This plan allows you to contribute 1-50% of your income up to the annual deferral limit. To help increase your retirement savings, Meredith will match 100% of the first 3% of your contributions and match 50% of the next 2% of contributions, after you complete one year of service. |
| Employee Stock Purchase Plan | The Meredith ESPP allows you to purchase Meredith stock with at least a 15% discount without any fees or commission. |
| Disability Benefits | Meredith provides employees with disability coverage to help reduce financial loss if you have to be away from work due to illness or injury. Short-term Disability (STD) replaces up to 60% of your eligible pay to a maximum of $15,000 a month. Long-term disability (LTD) begins when your STD ends. LTD pays up to 60% of your eligible pay to a maximum of $15,000 per month, including any Social Security benefits. |
| Life Insurance | Meredith employees automatically receive two times their pay in life insurance (up to $375,000 maximum.) You may buy additional life insurance for yourself, as well as for your spouse and children through payroll deduction. |
| Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) | Meredith employees may purchase AD&D for themselves, their spouse and their children in increments of $50,000 to a maximum of $500,000. |
| Long-Term Care Benefits | Meredith employees may enroll in long-term care insurance that, under specified conditions, provides skilled nursing for a patient (generally over age 65) in a nursing facility. |
| Pre-Retirement Financial Counseling Services and Post-Retirement Insurance | Meredith believes with good planning and information, Meredith employees can get the most out of their retirement benefits. Meredith provides a $500 lifetime pre-retirement counseling benefit for eligible employees over age 50. |
