You contribute to the cost of your benefits coverage through per pay period contributions. These contributions are based on your base salary plus target incentive or commission (if applicable), where you live and who you choose to cover. RELX provides a subsidy that can be applied to any medical and dental coverage that you purchase through the Aon Active Health Exchange™.
