UL Solutions Compensation & Benefits Highlights

  • Retirement Support — Retirement benefits are often characterized as a strong point, with a 401(k) plan noted for employer matching and overall favorability.

  • Leave & Time Off Breadth — Vacation and paid time off are described as competitive, including starting PTO, separate sick time, floating holidays, and company‑paid volunteer days. Official materials also highlight paid parental bonding and family leave in the U.S.
  • Strong & Reliable Incentives — Annual incentive bonus eligibility is positioned as company‑wide in official materials, making variable pay a meaningful part of total rewards. Some roles publicly specify target bonuses, underscoring the program’s presence.
