Google death benefits

Tweet

I was not actually looking for this... However, for some reason the death benefits of Google employees popped up when I was doing a search for something else. All I can say is... If a Google employee dies and one happens to be a family member of an employee of Google...you are set for a while. They take care of their employees. Just some of the regular benefits are quite impressive. Free haircuts, gourmet foods, onsite doctors, high-tech cleansing toilets...just to name a few. Though sometimes they change things around on a case to case basis...generally employee spouses and their families get this (see below) if their loved one dies while being employed at Google. Death Benefits: A spouse or significant other gets 50% of their salary (at the time of death) for the next 10 years. In addition to the 10-year pay package, surviving spouses will see all stocks vested immediately and any children will receive a $1,000 monthly payment from the company until they reach the age of 19 (or 23 if the child is a full-time student). I mean... You don't see too many folks getting these kind of benefits when an employee dies unless they have a good pension plan set up.
