Southwest Airlines Careers
Benefits - The Freedom to Create Financial Security
As an Employer, Southwest knows that financial security is a top priority for our People. We offer great programs like these to help our Employees plan for the future.
- 401(k) Plan: This Company-sponsored retirement plan allows Employees to contribute a portion of their pay on a pre-tax basis to build up savings for retirement. Currently, we match Employee contributions $1 for $1 up to 7.3 percent of eligible salary.
- ProfitSharing Plan: Without great Employees, we wouldn’t have great profits. Each year Southwest rewards our People with a portion of the Company’s profits to Employee ProfitSharing accounts. For example, in 2006 SWA contributed 7.96 percent of our Employees’ salaries into their ProfitSharing accounts!
- Employee Stock Purchase Plan: This plan allows Employees to buy shares of Southwest stock at a 10% discount.
Southwest Airlines is an equal opportunity employer.
