Share Incentive Scheme:

The Plan offers you a convenient method of becoming a shareholder in ITT Industries, Inc (the “Company”); by deduction from payroll the chosen level of contributions.  The Plan in the UK has applied for approval from the Inland Revenue, and your payroll deductions will then take place before PAYE tax and National Insurance (NI) are levied on the balance.  You therefore receive full tax relief on your contributions.

Shares must be held under trust and if you leave them in the trust for five years, you pay no income tax or NI contributions on the proceeds.  In addition, there is no Capital Gains Tax (CGT) liability on the shares if you choose to sell them.

Retirement Savings Plan:

The ITT Retirement Savings Plan is a group Personal Pension Policy set up with Friends Provident and operated on a salary exchange basis. Joining the Plan is automatic on your first day of employment but you may opt out at any time.  You may also subsequently rejoin the Plan at any time.

The contributions to the Plan are on a scale dependent on your age and are based on your basic salary.  The Employer contribution in the scale below will only be paid into your account if you agree to pay the full Employee rate of contributions.

All permanent employees are entitled to 25 days’ holiday + the 8 public holidays. Some of the 25 days must be reserved for the Christmas period - usually 3-4 days and these are printed on your holiday card.  Temporary employees on our payroll accrue holiday at the same rate as permanent employees, i.e., 2 days per complete month (3 for December) and also receive public holidays
