Compensation
Compensation
John Deere offers a competitive compensation package that includes:
- Base pay – the fixed salary you receive on a regular basis
- Variable pay – may include annual cash bonuses, stock options, and other longer-term cash awards
Our total compensation philosophy is to pay for performance. This philosophy is used throughout the company to reward employees in alignment with company and individual performance. Your individual performance impacts your base pay, while variable pay depends on company performance. Our goal is to be competitive in each respective market, so we align our base pay to the middle of what the market pays. When maximum variable pay goals are achieved, total compensation is paid at the top of the market.

Benefits
Medical
It is vital to be covered for private healthcare as the public sector is very poor in services and benefits, National Health Insurance does not exist in South Africa.
John Deere employees and dependents are covered under Discovery Health with a generous subsidy to all employees, Discovery is the best medical scheme in South Africa with over 55% share of the market and they have the highest rating for paying claims and administration. Employees are covered under 3 main categories in healthcare which are as follows:
- Hospitalisation (unlimited at the 100%, 200% or 300% of the Discovery Health rate)
- Chronic Medication
- Day to day benefits (doctors, specialists, dentistry, medication, optometry and selected alternative healthcare services)
Discovery Health offers extensive international cover to the equivalent of R5 to R10 million depending on option chosen for a maximum of 90 days per journey.
Hospital and chronic cover are paid from risk while day to day expenses are covered from a medical savings account (MSA) on an annual basis, once this is depleted depending on plan type the member will either pay out their pocket or reach a threshold where upon Discovery will then pay for benefits if required. Dentistry, optometry and prescribed medication have limits on all options.
