Benefits

Health, Dental & Vision Plans

We have a superb and affordable Employee Benefits Program. The Company pays for the vast majority of your health care costs (Medical, Prescription Drug, Dental and Vision Plans). Benefits begin on the first day of your employment.

Health Benefits

IGT offers a choice of medical plans to suit the different needs of our employees.

We offer two HMO plans, one for Reno employees and one for employees in Las Vegas. Under both HMO Plans, choice of medical care is restricted to In-Network providers. Employees need to select a primary care physician who will help direct all of their care including referrals to specialists. Exceptions to this are: 1) Under the Las Vegas HMO Plan a woman can go directly to her network OBGYN for a well-examination without a referral, and 2) under the Reno HMO Plan, members can go directly to specialists without acquiring a referral. Employees may change their primary care physician if they wish during the year, but they must notify the HMO in advance of the change. The HMO Plans give employees a high level of benefits with minimal out-of-pocket cost. There is a $15 co-pay for a primary care office visits a $30 co-pay for specialist visits and most other services are paid at 100% or are subject to moderate co-pays and/or deductibles.

Under the IGT PPO Medical Plan, employees have unrestricted choice to seek treatment from any licensed providers. Employees who use In-Network providers receive benefits paid at a higher level. There are two PPO plan options, a Standard Plan and a Plus Plan. The Standard PPO Plan will pay 80% when utilizing network providers and 60% for out-of-network providers. This plan includes an in-network deductible of $250 per individual and $750 per family. Co-payments for doctor's visits are tiered at $20 for primary care and $40 for a specialist. The Plus Plan pays at 90% when utilizing network providers and 70% for out-of-network providers. The Plus Plan has no in-network deductible. Co-payments are $15 for an office visit, for both primary care and specialists.

IGT also offers a consumer driven plan that provides employees a health reimbursement account (HRA) funded by IGT. This plan allows you to have more control over how your healthcare dollars are being spent. This plan allows you to receive preventive care services payable at 100%. Beyond preventive care, the employee pays for any and all healthcare services until the deductible is met. At that point, coinsurance is applied based on in or out-of-network care. Once the out-of-pocket max is met in-network, the plan then pays at 100%. IGT will fund the HRA for employees enrolled in this plan at an amount equal to one-half of the plan's annual deductible (based on selected tier).

Dental Benefits

Under the IGT Dental Plan, employees have the freedom to choose any dentist. Employees that use an In-Network dentist, will receive a discounted fee and benefits will be determined accordingly. However, if employees use an Out-of-Network dentist, usual and customary fees will be applied in determining benefits. By using an In-Network dentist, their out-of-pocket cost will be lower. In-Network dentists are available nationwide.

Vision Plan

Under our "low cost" Vision Plan, you may use any provider. However, the highest level of benefits is received when you use an In-Network participating provider. Out-of-Network providers are reimbursed on a fixed schedule.

Prescription Drug Plan

The Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) will provide coverage for prescriptions for employees. Regardless of which plan employees elect, PPO or HMO, they will receive prescription drug coverage through the PDP. Employees will be able to use all the major pharmacies and most independent pharmacies to receive prescriptions.

Short-Term and Long-Term Disability

The Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Plans provide you with income protection in the event you become disabled and are unable to work. IGT pays for the "full cost" of the plans.

Life Insurance/AD&D/Business Travel Insurance

The Life Insurance and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) plans provide for Basic and Optional/Voluntary coverage to provide financial protection to you and your family in the unfortunate circumstance of a death or accidental dismemberment to you or a family member.

The Business Travel Accident Plan (BTA) provides additional financial protection to your family in the unfortunate circumstance of either your death or accidental dismemberment while on Company travel.

IGT pays the full cost of the Basic, Life, AD&D and BTA. You pay for the full cost (at preferred group rates) of the Optional Life and Voluntary AD&D.

Adoption Assistance

IGT provides financial reimbursement for eligible adoption expenses incurred in excess of the IRS credit, up to a maximum of $7,000 per child following the adoption. The IRS provides a credit (dollar for dollar reduction of tax) against income tax for up to $10,390, subject to a phase out for employees with an adjusted gross income exceeding $155,860.

Dependent Scholarship Program

This program has been designed to assist employees' dependent children and dependent grandchildren who plan to continue education in an accredited college or a vocational school program. Under this program, up to 25 non-renewable scholarship awards will be granted each year.

Employee Assistance Plan

The Employee Assistance Plan is provided by IGT for employees and their families. This national program provides information, referrals, and short-term counseling for problems affecting either your work or personal life on a strictly confidential basis. As a member, employees have access to assistance from highly experienced counselors 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.

Onsite Daycare Facility

The Company provides onsite daycare (Reno) and subsidizes the cost to employees. Employees with children, from 6 weeks to 12 years of age, have found this to be a wonderful benefit. Learn more

The goal of The Child Garden is to provide a safe, nurturing environment for the children of the employees of IGT, helping them to enjoy learning and to be healthy, happy and confident. The Child Garden is an infant/toddler nursery, a preschool, a state licensed full-day kindergarten, and has a recreation program for school-aged children. The center opens at 6 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Infant care is provided for children ages 6 weeks through 18 months. Full day programs are available 5 days per week in our kind, loving environment. Each infant is kept on the schedule that is provided to us by the parent. In our effort to provide a consistent, quality program for the infants, our caregivers are scheduled on 10 hour shifts in order to monitor the child's entire day and to provide each parent with a full daily report. We encourage daily communication between parents and staff to help us mirror the care the parents provide at home.

While the children are on jar food and formula, the parents provide the meals along with diapers and wipes. As the children progress from formula and baby food to table food, hot lunch is included in their fees. Snacks, including mild, juice and water are offered morning and afternoon, more often if needed. Each day, upon arrival, the parent is asked to update us on the baby's schedule thus far, last diaper change, feeding, when the child woke up. The center then will fill out a daily sheet letting you know everything that your child did for that day including feedings, diaper changes, medicines given, naps etc. A monthly lesson plan will be posted on the Infant room parent board covering a variety of fun learning activities that the babies will be doing throughout the month.

As the children grow, they move to older infant and toddler classes. Each room provides a safe, age-appropriate environment which gives the children space, toys and equipment to nurture their natural developmental stages. Through exploration, hands-on activities, singing, finger plays and interaction with caregivers and other children, their emotional, social, physical and cognitive growth is stimulated. They play and learn! Each child is assigned a cot for rest time. Art projects, newsletters, etc. will be placed in the children's cubbies in the classroom. Daily sheets will be completed by the center to keep you informed about your child's day. These will include information on meals, diaper changes or potty times, naps etc. The Child Garden does participate in the potty training process. A monthly lesson plan will be posted on the Toddler room parent board. A variety of activities are planned for each day including art, sensory, beginning math and language, transportation, imagination, and group play.

Pre-School programs are available to children ages 3 years through 5 years. These programs are designed to help children develop positive social skills as well as to facilitate their acquisition of fundamental knowledge about the world around them. Our play-based curriculum provides learning centers in each classroom which include hands-on activities introducing the children to art, music, nature, basic cognitive concepts, computers and dramatic play. Circle times promote vocabulary growth and language skills through stories, songs and calendar activities. The Child garden embraces developmentally appropriate practices which allow children to develop at their own pace, emotionally, socially and cognitively. We foster each child's independence and believe that the skills they learn now will help them to interact with others in a positive manner and to meet the demands of the more structured and academic learning environments they will encounter beyond The Child Garden. Hot lunch is optional for the preschool and kindergarten children.

The Nevada State Department of Education licenses our full-day kindergartens. Our teachers hold state teaching credentials. Our extended day curriculum and smaller teacher student ratio allows us to go well beyond the Washoe County School District objectives. The curriculum is based on a "whole language" approach but with an emphasis on phonics. It also includes art, music, language and vocabulary, science and nature, physical fitness, health, safety and social studies. The mathematics program includes the basic concepts of addition and subtraction, time, measurement, money and an understanding of the basic concept of numbers as symbols for quantity.

Once the children enter first grade, parents are faced with the logistics of providing care for the children during school closures---holidays, vacations, teacher institute days, year-round school off tracks, etc. The Child Garden provides a recreation based school-age program for children who have started first grade but have not yet completed sixth grade. The Explorers' activities include field trips, arts and crafts, games and sports, science and nature. Because of numerous field trips, the Explorers pack their lunches, including drinks, every day.

401(k) Plan

Saving money is important and, preparing for retirement is essential. Contributing to the 401(k) part of the Plan provides you with an immediate and long-lasting advantage. Employees can contribute to their 401(k) account on a tax-deferred basis after having completed 30 days of employment. The Company supports employees' participation through a matching formula.

• Employee contributions: 100% fully vested
• Company matching contributions: 100% immediate vesting

Profit Sharing Plan

Profit Sharing expresses the value we place in employees. Based on profits, the Company has the discretion to make an annual contribution to an employee's 401(k)/Profit Sharing account. This contribution is based on business unit profitability and vests over time, and the percentage is allocated evenly among all employees.

Cash Sharing

As with Profit Sharing, a portion of the profits are returned to employees annually in cash. Taken with the 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan contribution, IGT dramatically demonstrates its beliefs that people make the difference.

Employee Stock Purchase

Employees can participate in the growth of the Company through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The purchase price is determined by taking a 5% discount from the fair market value (closing price) of a share of IGT stock as of the last day of the Plan Year.

Employee Referral Program

Employees are encouraged to participate in IGT's referral bonus programs by recommending qualified candidates for positions open within the Company. Current IGT employees who have referred applicants (who are subsequently hired to fill the eligible positions) will receive the appropriate referral bonus.

Educational 529 Plan

The Educational 529 Plan is provided to employees as means to help them save for their children's or grandchildren's college education in a flexible and affordable manner. The Plan allows employees to make post-tax contributions, while deferring federal income tax on earnings.

This Plan was made possible as a result of recent federal legislation created in response to state requests to assist families in affording the rising cost of higher education. It is maintained under the rules of Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. Most states have set up 529 plans with a financial partner. Employees can use the proceeds from the Plan at most accredited colleges, universities, and technical schools to pay for educational expenses.

Some states offer tax advantages but you have to participate in that state's plan. IGT's Plan, through Fidelity, is through the State of New Hampshire. The Plan provides you with the ability, through Fidelity, to research investment opportunities and diversify your investments among a broad range of investment opportunities.

Fitness Center & Wellness Programs

IGT provides a fitness center in Reno and Las Vegas and has wellness programs for all of its emloyees.

At the same time, the Company may advertise and recruit external applicants.
