On top of this, it is important that our employees have access to meaningful and affordable benefits  that are designed to support them as they grow in their life and career.

New hires can contribute to P&G Group Savings Plans – RRSP, Spousal RRSP, TFSA, NRSP (non-registered) and P&G shares via ISOP to save for retirement as soon as they start via payroll deductions or through Excess Choice Benefit Credits.
After 1 year of continuous service, new hires are enrolled in a Defined Contribution Pension Plan.

The International Stock Ownership Plan (ISOP) allows employees to buy P&G stock through automatic payroll deduction (1% to 20% of base pay) with a company match of 50% on your first 1-5% of Basic Deposits.  You are eligible for ISOP at date of hire.
