Don't follow the leader — become one

At Carrier we make modern life possible by delivering groundbreaking systems and services that help buildings, homes and the cold chain become more healthy, safe, sustainable and intelligent. We exceed the expectations of our customers by anticipating industry trends, working tirelessly to master and revolutionize them.

Our global team of dedicated employees continues to set industry standards by pursuing the latest research and developments to improve the lives of our customers.

We’re constantly growing, seeking out talented, likeminded people who are committed to our primary duty: to be the global leader in climate and energy solutions.

What we offer

Carrier is committed to offering competitive benefits programs for all of our employees, monitoring new market developments and enhancing our programs when necessary.

The individual plans that make up Carrier’s benefits are designed to balance your immediate needs (such as paying for health care) with your longer-term focus (like planning for retirement).

Retirement Savings Plan

We want Carrier employees to have tools available to prepare for retirement.

The Carrier Retirement Savings Plan is designed to be flexible regardless of an employee’s investment know-how and/or risk tolerance.

In addition to the broad range of investment options available in the plan, we offer an innovative feature called the Lifetime Income Strategy. This gives you the opportunity to turn all, or a portion, of your savings plan account balance into a reliable source of income for after you retire.

Health Insurance

It’s our goal to provide you with flexible, comprehensive coverage that works for you and your loved ones. We offer medical and dental plans that provide for a variety of healthcare needs.

Employees are also eligible to participate in tax-advantage accounts such as our Health Savings Account, Health Care Spending Account and Dependent Care Spending Account. These tax-advantaged benefits allow you to pay eligible expenses with pretax dollars.

Additionally, we offer life insurance options for you and your family, vision insurance and long-term disability coverage.

Employee fitness centers are also available at certain locations.

Time Off and Additional Vacation Options

New employees will receive up to 15 vacation days per year and will increase over time with your career at Carrier. Carrier employees are encouraged to take advantage of their vacation time to relax and rejuvenate.

In addition to paid vacation days, we offer employees the opportunity to purchase up to five extra days of vacation through our Carrier Choice program. Purchased vacation costs are spread out over the year, making it more affordable to add that extra time.

Flexible Work Philosophy

Our Flex Work Philosophy

At Carrier our flex work philosophy is rooted in four key tenets to reflect the critical balance needed to achieve a flexible, outcomes-oriented culture:

Flexibility Matters. Work and life are dynamic, and flex work should be, too.
Place Matters. Our Carrier locations are the places where we come together to create a community, and we value the in-person moments of being together.
Team Matters. We recognize that work is a team sport, and we win and grow together.
Outcomes Matter. We understand our goals, and we Achieve Results with accountability.

WorX: Our New Work Norm

Work, life and flex work are all dynamic. That’s why Carrier launched worX. With a name that blends work and flexibility, worX is a trust-based approach to flexibility that combines empowerment and accountability. Employees whose responsibilities allow for remote work can do so 20-25% in a year – in alignment with Carrier’s flex work philosophy.

What worX is:

Flexible. Positions that can be performed remotely can do so 20-25% in a year.
A journey. Open discussion between employee and supervisor to establish clear goals, outcomes and moments that matter is critical to success.
Balanced. All four tenets need to be in harmony in order to be successful.

What worX is not:

Rigid. No set days or schedules for remote work. Work is dynamic, therefore flexible. Remote work should be dynamic and flexible, too.
Tracked. Our work philosophy is based on trust, not rules.
Formal. worX isn’t formal or structured.

Alternative Work Arrangements

With the demands of work and family, many find that maintaining keeping the standard “8 a.m. to 5 p.m.” workday increasingly difficult to manage. We understand that personal matters sometimes require you to alter your schedule.

That's why we offer flexible work hours to eligible employees at the discretion of their supervisor. Whether it’s more convenient to work from 6 a.m. until 3 p.m., or starting the day at 10 a.m. and working until 6 p.m., our flexible work arrangements help manage your work-life balance.

Employees seeking additional flexibility options can request consideration through Carrier’s Alternative Work Arrangement Policy.

May be subject to location regulation or bargaining / consultation requirement.

Employee Scholar Program

Carrier’s Employee Scholar Program encourages employees to develop additional skills and engage in lifelong learning. The program covers qualified expenses for classes taken by eligible employees in a broad range of fields of study at Carrier-approved educational institutions. The program also provides paid time off for related academic work and pays covered expenses on behalf of eligible participants to minimize out-of-pocket costs. This program compliments our on-the-job and other professional development programs.

Parental Leave

At Carrier, new parents — moms and dads — can relax knowing they can take time away from work to bond with new children while still providing for their families.

We offer two leave benefits to eligible Carrier employees*

Birth & Adoption Leave

Up to 8 weeks of paid time off (with benefits)

Birth mothers**
Moms or dads who are the primary caregiver in a new adoption, legal guardianship of a child under age 18 or when receiving a surrogate child

Parental Leave

Up to 4 weeks of paid time off (with benefits)

Birth mothers**
Moms and dads who legally adopt a child, become legal guardians of a child under age 18 or receive a surrogate child
Spouses/domestic partners of birth mothers

When employees are eligible for both leaves, they can take a total of 12 weeks of paid time off.

*Salaried and hourly management represented employees based in the U.S.
** Birth mothers of surrogate children are not eligible for birth & adoption or parental leave. However, they may be eligible for short-term disability benefits.

Employee Assistance Program

Carrier partners with Beacon Health Options to help make life easier.

There are resources to help with everyday life — like achieving personal goals, finding a child care provider or improving work habits. Our partnership with Beacon Health Options also provides resources to help with things more central to you, like improving a relationship, managing stress or mental health treatment, because a healthy mind equals a healthy you.

Professional Development

The world of work continues to evolve — and we do, too.

Learning never ends at Carrier, and our commitment to invest in our people helps us continue to make modern life possible.

Talent Development is core to Carrier’s culture — a culture that promotes:

Transformative thinking
Empowerment of employees at all levels to support our customers
Risk taking

Our employees have built a reputation for innovative thinking — always aiming for the biggest improvements and the best solutions that provide excellent service for our customers.

Part-Time Benefits

If you are not a full-time employee at Carrier, but are working 20 to 35 hours per week, then you’re eligible to enroll in the Part-Time Carrier Choice program.

This program gives you access to many of the benefits of the standard Carrier Choice program available to full-time employees. If you are eligible for part-time benefits, you’ll also be eligible for the Employee Scholar Program, Business Travel Accident Insurance and Adoption Assistance.
