Vision
Our vision program gives associates the flexibility to choose in-network or out-of-network benefits, determined by the choice of vision providers.

Flexible Spending Accounts
Associates may participate in health and dependent care spending accounts on a pre-tax basis, which provides tax savings and affords associates the ability to budget and allocate eligible out-of-pocket expenses throughout the year.

Life Insurance
Cott provides group term life insurance coverage to all associates at no cost. Associates have the option of electing additional coverage for themselves and their dependents.

Short and Long Term Disability Programs
Our programs are designed to help protect an associate’s income should time-off from work be required due to illness or injury. A standard Long Term Disability program is provided at no cost and associates have the opportunity to elect additional LTD coverage. Short Term Disability programs vary, based on an associate’s employment classification.

Retirement Savings Plan
We understand that financial security at retirement is a priority for our associates. With a focus on meeting the needs of each associate, Cott Systems offers a flexible retirement plan which includes pre-tax or after-tax contribution options, availability of catch-up contributions (certain conditions apply), an employer match on a portion of contributions, and a portfolio of over twenty investment account options to select from. In addition, each year Cott Systems determines whether to make a Discretionary Profit-Based Contribution to associates accounts.

Tuition Reimbursement
Associate development is important to us. We support and promote continuing education efforts and provide assistance to our associates through our tuition reimbursement program. Professional certification and higher education expenses are eligible for consideration under our program.

Employee Assistance Program
Our Employee Assistance Program offers associates tips for day-to-day living as well as financial and legal advice and short term counseling. This program is available to all Cott Systems associates and their families at no cost.

Vacation/Personal Days
We recognize the importance of balancing work and personal needs, and encourage our associates to take time off for relaxation and reflection through our generous vacation and personal time policies. The amount of time off available to an associate is dependent upon their years of service with Cott Systems.
