Spectrum 2022
Full-Time Benefit Highlights

Check out a sample of the comprehensive benefits we offer our employees.

Paid Time Off: Charter provides new employees up to 10 paid vacation days, up to 7 paid sick days, 7 paid holidays,
and up to 4 paid personal days each year (proration may apply). Vacation and sick time are earned each pay period, and
employees can use their time off as it is accrued during their first calendar year.

Savings & Retirement: Our market-leading retirement program helps support our employees’ long-term financial well-
being. Charter helps employees build retirement savings by matching pre-tax and/or Roth after-tax 401(k) contributions. For
every $1 employees contribute, Charter contributes $1 up to 6% of their eligible pay (subject to the annual IRS dollar limits).
Charter also provides an additional contribution of 3% of eligible pay in a Retirement Accumulation Plan (RAP) to those
employed in a position below the Director level, regardless of contributions employees make to their 401(k). Once they
meet vesting requirements (three years of service), Charter’s contributions and earnings belong to them. When you add
up Charter’s 3% contribution to the RAP with a 6% employee contribution to the 401(k) and Charter’s (up to) 6% match,
that’s a 15% total retirement savings opportunity.

Extraordinary Extras: Charter offers several programs alongside the Anthem medical options, including, diabetes
management with Livongo, second opinion medical and behavioral health reviews with Teladoc Medical Experts, centers
of excellence for certain non-emergency surgeries through Carrum Health and a Health Guide with Anthem to help
employees navigate everything from providers to medical bills. These are offered at no to low-cost, depending on the
medical option chosen.

Financial Protection: Charter provides two times our employees’ Annual Pay in Basic Life and Accidental Death &
Dismemberment Insurance, and they have the option to buy additional coverage for themselves and their dependents.
They have the option to buy Voluntary Short-Term Disability coverage for the first year of employment. After their one-
year anniversary, they’re enrolled in the company paid short-term and long-term disability programs. Plus, they have the
option to enroll in Voluntary Legal Insurance to help with things like wills, buying a house or speeding tickets.

Education Assistance: For employees looking to continue their education, we offer tuition reimbursement for eligible
course work up to $5,250 a year.

Family Benefits: We offer paid parental leave, financial assistance for adoption and surrogacy, parenting support
for raising children with learning, behavioral or developmental challenges through Rethink and a digital platform for
navigating reproductive health, pregnancy and parenting through Ovia. Access to confidential and family well-being
support is available through the Live Well program. When employees enroll in an Anthem medical option, they also
receive top-rated fertility management with Progyny.

Spectrum Services: Free or discounted residential services (Spectrum TV, Internet, and Voice) are available for
employees who live in a Charter service area. If they reside outside of a Charter service area, they’re eligible to receive
Spectrum TV Essentials and certain online premium video services. Regardless of their service area, employees have
access to Spectrum Mobile services.
