Holidays
Raytheon generally provides an average of 12 holidays per year, including
the week between Christmas and New Year's Day as well as others that are
commonly observed: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor
Day, Thanksgiving and the day after. Other holidays may vary by state and
location.
Flexible Work Schedules
Innovation, creativity and flexibility are important in order for Raytheon to be able to respond
effectively to changing business needs. Raytheon also recognizes the importance of workplace
flexibility for its employees. Raytheon supports a variety of flexible work arrangements including
compressed work weeks, flextime, job sharing, reduced hours and telecommuting. The particular
flexibility options will vary depending upon the type of work performed and the work location,
but examples of some that are available include:
- Every other Friday off (9/80) an employee works 9 hours Monday through Friday
of week A, 9 hours Monday through Wednesday of week B, 8 hours Thursday of week B and then gets Friday of week B off
(works 80 hours over a two week period).
- Every Friday afternoon off an employee works 9 hours Monday through Thursday
and 4 hours on Friday morning (works 40 hours each week).
- Standard work week an employee works 8 hours Monday through Friday
(40 hours each week).
- Modified work week an employee may work either more or less than
8 hours in any day of a pay period as long as the balance of hours worked at
the end of the pay period is 80 hours.
Dependent Care Reimbursement Account
A Dependent Care Reimbursement Account helps you pay for eligible dependent
care expenses using pre-tax dollars. Examples of eligible expenses include
most forms of child care up to the age of 13, as well as certain forms of
adult care necessary in order for you and your spouse, if married, to work
or go to school full time. Through payroll deductions, you may set aside on
a pre-tax basis up to $5,000 per year if single and $2,500 if married and
filing separate returns.

Adoption Assistance
Designed to offset the out-of-pocket costs associated with adopting a child.
You can receive up to a maximum of $4,000 in adoption assistance benefits
for each finalized adoption. This amount could be a taxable benefit depending
upon financial guidelines as established by the federal government.
Transportation Benefit
Raytheon believes in good community relations and in modeling stewardship
of the environment. Currently offered in most states, the Transportation
Benefit provides savings on commuting expenses through pre-tax payroll
deductions. Only Raytheon commuting expenses are eligible including
mass transit costs, vanpool expenses and parking.
WageWorks administers the benefit.
How the Plan Works:
Similar to Raytheon's other reimbursement accounts, the Transportation
Benefit allows you to have before-tax deductions taken out of your
paychecks to pay for eligible expenses associated with your commute
to work. Unlike either Dependent Care Reimbursement Accounts (DCRA),
however, how benefits are paid depends upon what type of eligible
expenses you have.
