Compensation & Benefits

At Suncor, we believe people who contribute to our success should share in the rewards — both monetary and non-monetary. We take a "total rewards" approach that includes compensation, benefits, career development and wellness programs to support work-life commitments. Our top-ranked benefits include comprehensive health care plans, competitive retirement and savings plans and generous time off — all in a flexible package that can be adjusted to suit the changing needs of you and your family. Go ahead. Expect great.

Compensation. Our compensation package is designed to "pay for performance," which means Suncor provides competitive base pay with the ability to earn additional rewards through annual and long-term incentives, performance bonuses and stock options. Employees who excel in their roles and demonstrate high potential have the opportunity for additional financial recognition.

Benefits. Suncor’s benefits package is an important part of the total rewards package. It includes a pension and savings plan package that is rated among the best in the industry. It also provides a menu of benefits options — health and dental plans, prescription drug coverage, life, accident and disability insurance, and a health spending account that provides for additional expenses (such as eyeglasses, massage therapy and orthodontic work) not covered by the dental/medical plans. The flexible nature of our plans means employees can personalize their benefits packages to suit
their needs.

It’s not all about work. With our increasingly demanding lifestyles, many employees are looking for programs that help achieve success at work and at home. All Suncor employees have access to a free and confidential Employee and Family Assistance Program and educational assistance for courses relevant to work. Depending on which area of Suncor they work in, employees can also take advantage of flexible working hours, as well as seminars on topics such as financial planning, communicating with teenagers and managing elder care.

Employees receive generous paid vacation time, which ranges from two to six weeks per year, depending on years of service and experience level. In addition to vacation days and holidays, eligible employees also receive personal time-off days. These ''personal time-off days" are intended to give employees extra time for doctor appointments, family activities or the ability to pursue
personal interests.

Suncor also encourages community involvement by providing financial assistance to the non-profit organizations supported by employees, including matching grants to post-secondary institutions and fundraising grants.

The compensation and benefits program provided to Suncor employees may differ depending on job assignment and job location.
