Benefits
Retirement Savings Plan 401(k)
The Maxtor Retirement Savings Plan
is a 401(k) salary deferral plan, which helps you build a financial
nest egg for retirement while providing the opportunity for current
tax savings.
You may contribute a combined total from 1% to 25% of your pre-tax
and post-tax pay, up to annual IRS legal limit ($13,000 for 2004).
You make contributions through convenient payroll deductions.
Maxtor matches your contributions at 100% for the first 2% and
25% for the next 4% of eligible compensation with immediate vesting,
up to a maximum company match of $2,000 per year. Maxtor's Plan
allows for "catch-up" contributions for those employees
that reach age 50 during the plan year. Further, Maxtor has no
vesting requirement on the company matching contribution. In
addition, Maxtor uses Fidelity Investments Institutional Service
as its record-keeper and has over 32 funds to which you can invest.
Paid Time-Off (PTO)
Maxtor employees may take time off for vacation, personal
business or illness per calendar year, beginning with the first
year of employment. Most new hires will receive a pro-rata portion
of 20 days based on when employment begins.* PTO accrues bi-weekly
on your paycheck.
Your maximum accrual varies based on your years of service. Once
your account balance reaches the maximum accrual hours allowed,
you stop accruing until your account balance drops below the
maximum.
*Note: Some employees with the subsidiary, MMC Technology, located
in San Jose CA, have vacation and sick pay benefits that differ
from the PTO and the Short Term Disability described in this
information.

location. The plans cover many of the same services; they vary

replacement of 80% of weekly earnings up to a maximum of $3500/week.

Note: California employees are required by state law to
participate in either the California State Disability Insurance
Program or Maxtor's Voluntary Plan (Base option). While the contribution
for both State SDI and Maxtor Base option is the same, the benefit
