Short-Term Disability (STD) Coverage. Provides up to 26 weeks of paid leave (benefit is based on your years of service) should an illness or injury require you to be away from work. The first week (i.e., 40 consecutive working hours) of disability leave is considered an unpaid waiting period, however you may be paid for this period using your accrued PTO or unused floating holidays. Paid leave is then provided through the STD program for the remaining period. Coverage is paid by the firm and is available immediately upon your date of hire.

Long-Term Disability (LTD) Insurance. Provides income protection during an extended period of disability. If you elect LTD insurance (the cost of coverage is cost-shared between you and the firm), benefits begin after you have been partially or totally disabled for 180 consecutive days.

Long-Term Care Insurance. A voluntary plan to help you pay nursing home fees or home care costs not covered elsewhere.

Maternity Benefits

The various leave programs available for maternity and childbirth reasons are summarized below:

Short-Term Disability (STD). Paid leave is provided to birth mothers under the firm’s short-term disability program (as described above). For a normal delivery, generally 6 weeks of disability leave is provided from the date of birth (for a cesarean delivery, generally 8 weeks is provided). The first week (i.e., 40 consecutive working hours) of disability leave is considered an unpaid waiting period, however you may be paid for this period using your accrued PTO or unused floating holidays. Paid leave is then provided through the STD program for the remaining 5 weeks for a normal delivery or 7 weeks for a cesarean.

Paid Parental Leave. 2 weeks of paid leave is available to new parents (birth or adoptive, regardless of gender) for time off to bond with their new child.

Unpaid Parental Leave. After 1 year of employment, the firm provides new parents (birth or adoptive) up to 24 workweeks of unpaid leave.

Paid Leave Programs

Booz Allen offers a comprehensive set of paid leave programs, designed to help you maintain the balance of work, personal time, community interests, and commitments which are essential to both your personal and professional well-being. These include:

Paid Time Off (PTO). A pool of leave (accrued on a monthly basis) to spend as you choose, not only for rest and relaxation, but also for the unexpected, such as personal illness or any matter that requires you to be away from work. Your leave grows with your tenure and advancement:

Community Involvement

Booz Allen’s approach to philanthropy is employee-centric, which means we align our resources with the interests of the firm’s employees. Our goal is to empower our people to be catalysts for change, making a difference in the communities where we live and work. Whether it’s through a firm-sponsored volunteer project, pro bono work, or a personal/individual activity, our employee volunteers are encouraged to become involved and to make an impact.

Booz Allen Hamilton Employees’ Capital Accumulation Plan (ECAP)

ECAP is a defined contribution, profit-sharing plan designed to help ensure you’re ready for what’s next financially. ECAP has two components: a voluntary 401(k) feature and generous contributions from the firm.

Employee 401(k) contributions

● The employee-funded 401(k) portion of ECAP allows you to make voluntary pre-tax contributions up to 80% of your base salary and voluntary Roth 401(k) after-tax contributions up to 50% of your base salary* via convenient payroll deductions. The combined amount of these contributions cannot exceed the maximum annual IRS limit ($16,500 in 2009.)

● If you are age 50 or older, you may make an additional “catch-up” contribution to your voluntary 401(k) account each year, up to the maximum IRS limit ($5,500 in 2009).

Contributions can start as soon as practical upon employment or at any time in the future.

*Certain restrictions apply to 401(k) contributions for Highly Compensated Employees (HCEs) in their second year and subsequent years of employment. If an employee is deemed an HCE (as defined by the IRS), contributions will be limited to the lesser of 10% of base salary or the annual IRS contribution limit. For 2009, an employee is considered an HCE if their total compensation from Booz Allen exceeded $105,000 during calendar year 2008.

Annual profit sharing contribution

Booz Allen makes an annual lump sum contribution to employees’ ECAP accounts. While contributions are discretionary, historically, the firm contributions have been 10% of eligible compensation and an additional 5.7% of compensation above the Social Security wage base ($106,800 for 2009)**. Firm contributions to your ECAP account are separate from the 401(k) portion—you will receive this annual lump-sum deposit regardless of what you contribute to your 401(k).

You are automatically eligible to receive annual Booz Allen contributions to ECAP after attaining age 21 and completing 1 year of employment with the firm.

Your first Booz Allen profit sharing contribution will be based on a prorated amount from your eligibility date.
