John Deere Benefits John Deere provides all employees with an extremely competitive compensation and benefits package. Employees pay for a portion of the cost of the coverage elected, on a before-tax basis, through payroll deduction. We match employee contributions based on annual performance, and that match percentage increases at times of strong company performance. Company Stock Purchase Plan John Deere employees have the opportunity to participate in a company stock purchase plan through payroll deduction.
Participation is voluntary.
Vacation and Holidays Employees become eligible for vacation after six months of continuous employment, and the number of vacation days increases as service continues. Maximums range from 20 to 25 days, depending on business unit. The number of official holidays observed varies by location, with a range of 8 to 11 days. We know that many employees are interested in furthering their education. To help make this possible, we offer tuition aid for employees from their date of hire.
