Compensation and Benefits at Jazz Pharmaceuticals
In keeping with our commitment to employees, Jazz Pharmaceuticals provides a comprehensive compensation and benefits package designed to meet diverse needs. Base salaries and an incentive bonus program are competitive with leading companies in the industry and in our community. In addition, Jazz Pharmaceuticals' benefits coverage includes medical, dental and vision care plans for our employees as well as their spouses, dependents and domestic partners.
Health Plan
Jazz Pharmaceuticals offers several choices of Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) and Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Plans. Group dental and vision care insurance is included with all employee medical plan enrollments.
Financial Security & Tax-Savings Programs
Jazz Pharmaceuticals recognizes that financial security is important to all our employees. The company provides group term life insurance, optional supplemental life insurance, accidental death & dismemberment insurance and income protection programs in case an employee becomes disabled. Employees can set aside pre-tax funds each year for use toward dependent care and certain medical expenses through flexible spending accounts. The company's 401(k) savings plan provides employees with a variety of investment choices for their tax-deferred retirement savings through Fidelity Investments.
Time Off
Jazz Pharmaceuticals is committed to assisting employees to achieve a balanced work and personal life by providing employees with time off, whenever possible, to rest, relax and to take care of personal matters.
All regular employees receive a generous number of vacation and sick paid time off days each year. Jazz Pharmaceuticals also observes a number of company-paid holidays each year. Jazz Pharmaceuticals believes that benefits are an important part of total compensation, and our programs are reviewed at least annually to ensure employees’ needs and the company’s business objectives are being met.

Living in the Bay Area
The Jazz Pharmaceuticals headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., lies in the heart of the Bay Area - just up the street from Stanford University, nestled in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains, and surrounded by leading venture capital firms, and high tech, biotech and pharmaceutical companies. With creative influence from some of the top universities and academic centers in the West Coast, Silicon Valley and the surrounding Bay Area attract the best and brightest with the common goal of developing the next generation of valuable new medicines and hope for patients. It?s not all work, though. The Bay Area offers a great quality of life: mild weather and a wealth of activities, both cultural and physical. With the beach, the mountains and two of California's largest cities all within easy driving distance, the possibilities for exploration are nearly endless. Whether great restaurants and California cuisine, wine tasting at local vineyards, theater and museums or hiking, biking, sailing, skiing or even surfing, there's truly something for everyone to enjoy.
