Mountain Hardwear's excellent benefits represent the belief there is much more to a career with
Mountain Hardwear than job responsibilities and a salary. Our benefits provide a foundation for
the well being of our employees and their families. The following benefits are available to all
full time employees who are scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week.
Medical

Employees who live and work outside the local network area are offered a medical plan that provides
access to physicians in their area along with a co-pay or deductible depending on the service received.

and/or lenses) or contacts are covered under the plan once every 24 months.
401(k) Plan
Regular and part time employees are eligible to contribute up to 70% of their gross pay through
pre-tax payroll deductions. Participation may begin the first of the quarter following
completion of 90 days of employment.
The company currently matches 50% of the first 10% of the employee's contribution.
The match is 100% vested after one year of employment.
Profit Sharing
The company’s Board of Directors may elect to make profit sharing contributions annually,
based on the company's profitability. These contributions serve to increase the value of
the employee's account upon retirement.
Paid Time Off (PTO)
Paid Time Off starts accruing on the date of hire for regular full time employees, with the
potential at the end of the first 12 months of 17 days of PTO. This benefit provides paid
time off for vacation, sick leave and personal business. PTO accrual rates increase after
the 5th, 10th and 15th years of service. Employees also have 11 paid holidays per year.
Education Assistance
Mountain Hardwear supports the concept of life-long learning for its employees, especially
