Healthcare

You can elect to participate in the Okta corporate health insurance plan through Medibank, which all employees are eligible for at the beginning of employment. If you choose to participate, you are eligible to receive a subsidy for yourself and your immediate family members enrolled in the plan.

Corporate health insurance

f you choose to participate in the corporate health insurance plan, you’re eligible to receive a subsidy up to AUD 400 per month for employee only coverage and up to AUD 600 per month for family coverage. In any case, the subsidy will not exceed the actual cost of the health plan. The subsidy is subject to change at the company's discretion and without notice. If the cost of the coverage you select exceeds the subsidy amount, you must make a payment directly to the insurance provider each month for the excess. Employees must enroll in the Okta corporate health insurance plan through the Medibank website directly. Those who decline to participate are ineligible to receive the subsidy. To get started, call Medibank at 1300 360 806, log on to Medibank’s website, or return the application form.

Life and total permanent disability

Okta’s life and total and permanent disability cover provides financial protection for permanent employees younger than age 65 at no cost to you. This benefit can help you take care of yourself and your family if you become totally and permanently disabled or die.

The plan pays a lump-sum benefit, up to a maximum of three times your annual base salary. Cover under AUD 1,000,000 does not require proof of good health.

If you are eligible for cover above the automatic acceptance limit (AUD 1,000,000), you can apply for the additional cover portion. You will need to complete a standard medical underwriting process, which may include medical and blood tests. Total and permanent disability cover tapers by 20% beginning at age 61 to no cover by age 65.

New employees are automatically enrolled in life and total permanent disability cover at the beginning of employment.

Salary continuance

Okta provides disability cover that pays a part of your income if you’re unable to work due to sickness or injury, up to age 65. This benefit is available to employees who work a minimum of 15 hours per week at no cost to you.

After a 30-day waiting period, you receive 75% of your base salary. Cover under AUD 11,000 does not require proof of good health. If you are eligible for cover above the automatic acceptance limit (AUD 11,000), you can apply for the additional cover portion. You will need to complete a standard medical underwriting process, which may include medical and blood tests.

Benefits are paid monthly in arrears and accrue after the waiting period has expired. If you are also entitled to workers compensation benefits, a lesser benefit may be paid from this policy as offsets apply. If continuing to meet the policy total disability definition, benefits may be paid up until age 65.

If you leave Okta, you may apply to continue your life and total and permanent disability cover or salary continuance cover (limited medical evidence required) through your own policy. Conditions apply, so contact Mercer Marsh Benefits immediately once you know you are leaving Okta.

Business travel accident cover and travel assistance

We are pleased to provide you with business travel accident (BTA) cover from an AIG member company, at no cost to you. BTA provides you with coverage in the event you and your eligible dependents, if traveling with you, experience any travel inconveniences, security issues or medical emergencies while traveling on behalf of Okta for company business, anywhere in the world. As part of this coverage, you are also provided with:

  • Travel security assistance
  • Travel medical assistance
  • Identity theft assistance
  • Concierge services

To get started with your BTA insurance, review this information:

Mobile phone and internet reimbursement

Okta offers full-time employees reimbursement for personal mobile and internet service. A monthly maximum reimbursement amount applies. Employees may also opt in to a corporate mobile program, if they do so, they forfeit a personal mobile reimbursement. For more details, see the T&E policy on the Expenses page on The Landing.

Okta perks

No matter where you sit in the world, our programs help foster a sense of belonging and to reflect the communities in which we live and work. Check out the Workplace Services page on The Landing to see what’s happening in your local space.

Rewards

Your base pay works together with Okta’s bonus, equity grants (aka, “long-term incentives” or “RSUs”), and the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) to provide you with a highly competitive pay and ownership opportunity. It’s how you share in the success of the company you’re helping to build and grow.

Cash incentive bonus program

Okta sets your bonus target as a percentage of your base pay, based on your job level. The company’s performance against pre-established objectives determines whether Okta will pay bonuses each year—there is no guarantee. Company performance objectives may include achievement of annual revenue targets, net annual recurring revenue, bookings, and EBITDA.

Long-term incentives (RSUs)

Okta’s equity grants are made in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). RSUs are a form of equity compensation issued by Okta. Okta grants RSUs at no cost to you. For each grant, Okta converts the value into a number of RSUs based on the monthly average closing price of one share of Okta in the month prior to the grant.

Employee stock purchase plan

You have another opportunity to benefit from the company’s growth and the shareholder value your work helps to create. By choosing to participate in the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), eligible employees can invest directly in the company—by purchasing shares of Okta stock at a discount. Buy shares of Okta stock twice a year and get at least a 15% discount on your shares. You decide if you’d like to participate and how much you’d like to contribute—anywhere from 1% to 15% of your eligible pay. Certain limits apply. Please note:

  • Eligible employees have two opportunities each year to enroll: May and November. If you miss the window, you’ll need to wait until the next enrollment period.
  • Shares are purchased twice a year on June 20 and December 20. The amount you pay for the shares is the lower of two prices—the offering date price or the purchase date price. The 15% discount is applied to the lowest of the two prices.
  • Once purchased, your Okta shares are yours to keep. When the purchase period ends, shares are purchased for you and are deposited into your E*TRADE account. At that point, you own your Okta shares, and you decide how long to hold them.

Questions? Go to the Okta Equity page on The Landing or email stock@okta.com.

Everyday Wellbeing

Global wellbeing

Okta cares about your health and happiness. But sometimes, everyone needs a little help with balancing work, family, and everything in between. That’s why we partner with Modern Health as our employee assistance program (EAP) provider to provide you with incredible benefits to support your holistic wellbeing.

Employee assistance program (EAP)

Modern Health provides a combination of on-demand digital tools with virtual coaching (and therapy, if needed). You set up the approach that best meets your needs. Your family members are also covered at no cost to you.

Any information you or your family member provides through Modern Health or discusses with your dedicated coach or therapist is confidential. Your name, records, and other private information will not be shared with Okta.

How Modern Health can help you and your family

Modern Health provides support for many areas, such as:

  • Work performance—find coaching and support to improve productivity, leadership skills, work relationships, and professional development
  • Financial wellbeing—for example, when your student loan debt seems to take over, or you need help with saving for an emergency and planning for future financial needs
  • Help with life challenges—like preparing for having a family, adjusting once you’re a parent, getting help with child care and elder care, and dealing with loss
  • Diversity and inclusion—to better understand and overcome bias or find balance between your personal and work identity
  • Stress and anxiety—for when even small things seem really big and scary
  • Healthy lifestyles—to help you move more, eat healthier, and sleep better
  • Mindfulness and meditation—techniques for managing stress, focusing, and meditating
  • Relationships—with your partner, friends, family, and dating

You can share Modern Health with your family members. This includes your legal spouse or registered partner, your child(ren) between the ages of 6 and 26, and relatives that reside in the same household as you.

You and your family will receive up to 8 therapy and 8 coaching sessions per person per calendar year, in addition to unlimited access to Modern Health’s digital resources.
