Compensation

Pay
In addition to the base salary, Caterpillar offers incentive plans that give employees the opportunity to impact their compensation for achieving targeted corporate and business unit results. Caterpillar's incentive plans also ensure that employees continue to consider the outcome of their decisions on the company, as well as their individual business unit.

Retirement
Matches and other employer contributions to employee 401(k) plans can vary depending on position. However, no matter what the contribution, we encourage employees to save for their financial future. Caterpillar's 401(k) plan allows employees to save money on a pre-tax basis and lets them choose how to invest their savings in several different funds.
