ATL recognises that excellence in the performance of the company requires excellence in the performance of its people. ATL offers competitive pay and benefits programmes designed to attract and retain people who share this commitment to excellence.
ATL provides a comprehensive package of benefit choices that meet employees’ financial security needs at an affordable cost for both the employee and employer. The programmes described here are designed to promote and maintain good health, to provide for retirement, to help meet the cost of illness and accident, and to help provide financial security for employees and beneficiaries.
ATL pays the entire cost for some benefits, others require employee cost-sharing, and some are paid entirely by the employee. To the extent feasible, certain benefits are provided on a tax‑favoured basis. This document is a high level summary and provides an overview of the complete benefits programme at ATL. ATL Business Policies and the Summary Plan Description describe the programme in greater detail. The provisions of the plan document for each of the various plans shall govern in the event of any conflict with the information provided here or in the Summary Plan Description.
That’s why we provide each eligible team member with a comprehensive set of benefits designed to protect their personal and financial health and to help them make the most of their financial future.
