Things to Think About
  • Benefits are a large part of your total compensation.
    Alcoa pays the majority of your benefits costs — about $7,000 per employee per year for health care benefits.

  • Benefit costs have a direct impact our bottom line.
    Last year, Alcoa spent about $1 Billion on U.S. benefits. That amount would pay the energy bills to run all of our North American smelters for a year.

  • You're leaving money on the table if you don't take advantage of free in-network preventive care.
    In 2006, 20% of employees and dependents never used any medical services.

  • A lot of employees get more coverage than they need.
    In 2006, almost 60% of employees and dependents spent less than $1,000 on health care.

  • Very few people have large medical expenses.
    In 2006, less than 1.5% of employees and dependents reached their medical out-of-pocket maximum.
