Employee contributions for medical coverage are based on your base salary as of October 31 of each year, for coverage in the upcoming year (or your base salary as of your hire date if you were hired after October 31). For purposes of determining your medical coverage contribution, your salary is considered frozen for the year on that date. That means that any change in your salary during the year will not affect your contribution amount until the next year. The amount of your contribution also depends on how many dependents you choose to cover under a News Corp medical plan.

Dental contributions are flat contribution rates dependent upon the dental plan option elected and number of dependents covered. Employee salary, as detailed above for employee medical contributions, does not impact the contributions required to participate in a dental plan.

The vision plan is a fully insured benefit and participation in this plan is fully paid by the employee and determined by the number of individuals covered.
