We call our compensation and benefits package “3M Total Rewards"
3M Total Rewards includes a range of plans and programs that are intended to attract, retain and motivate the high-performing employees we depend on for growth and success. 3M Total Rewards break down into three areas:
Your pay. Be rewarded for your efforts with a competitive base salary and variable incentive pay linked to company and individual performance.
Your benefits. Live your best with unique resources and high-quality benefits. Medical, dental and vision plan options, savings and retirement plans, a 3M employee stock purchase plan and many other resources can enhance your life, both physically and financially.
Your life at 3M. Grow through challenging work by leading important projects, working with diverse, talented people and finding endless opportunities to develop your skills – while enjoying access to many perks, programs and resources.
Your 3M compensation is a part of your 3M Total Rewards, designed to recognize the meaningful contributions you make to business results. To ensure competitive pay, 3M regularly benchmarks pay and benefits with other companies that are comparable in size and scope.
Your pay may include two components: base salary and variable pay. While base pay applies to all employees, variable pay is offered to eligible employees and may include an Annual Incentive Plan (AIP), sales incentives or other incentives.
-
Annual Incentive Plan (AIP)
The Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) aligns a portion of eligible employees’ pay with company, business unit and individual performance. In most cases, you are eligible for the AIP if you are an active, non-production, salaried 3M employee. Employees eligible to receive sales incentive compensation do not participate in the AIP.
-
Sales Incentives
Each sales representative’s pay includes base pay and sales incentives, paid monthly or quarterly, depending on the business you represent.
-
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
Management-level (and equivalent) employees are eligible to receive equity grants based on their level of responsibility, individual contribution and leadership performance. The more you contribute to 3M’s success, the more success you create for yourself.
Beyond pay, medical and dental plan options, savings and retirement plans, a 3M employee stock purchase plan and many other resources will help you enhance your mental, physical and financial well-being.
-
Annual Leave
Annual leave which is paid time off is another part of your 3M Total Rewards that helps you relax and balance your work and personal life. Your paid time off includes vacation and holiday pay, short- and long-term disability benefits, and time off for parental leave, emergencies or other miscellaneous absences.
3M also offers unique resources and high-quality benefits to help you live your best. Medical and dental plan options, savings and retirement plans, a 3M employee stock purchase plan and many other resources will help you enhance your mental, physical and financial well-being.
