Welcome!

After joining Okta, you will need to complete your Benefits Enrollment task in Workday. You’ll be automatically enrolled in employee-only coverage and can waive extended healthcare (proof of coverage will be required) and dental coverage. Eligible dependents can be added as part of the new hire enrollment process. See the Manulife portal for additional resources available you to help you stay healthy and improve your health

Okta also offers you a health care spending account to help pay for qualified healthcare expenses funded with CAD $300 per year (pro-rated for new hires, $300 if hired between January 1 and June 30 and $150 if hired between July 1 and December 31) for employee or family coverage. There is a one-year credit forward, meaning left over money is added to the next year if it is not used. If you don’t use it by the deadline, you lose it. The most common expenses are vision, dental and paramedical visits.

If you experience a qualifying life event, such as marriage, divorce, or having or adopting a child, you have 31 days to change your plan in Workday without providing proof of good health. You cannot make changes retroactively after 31-days.

*As a participant in Okta’s benefits plans, you’re subject to taxable income as required by the Canada Revenue Agency. As part of this requirement, Okta must report any employer paid benefit premiums that you participate in as taxable income on your paycheck. All provinces are taxed for life and AD&D. For residents in Quebec, the taxation also includes paid premiums for life extended health care (EHC), dental and the employee assistance program (EAP). Find more details about these tax laws.

Get access to virtual care 24/7 with telemedicine services through TELUS Health. Once your enrollment is completed in Workday, you can register your account with Manulife and access your virtual care plan.

Planning for and keeping track of the income you’ll have for the future starts today. You can contribute and invest your own money and receive a matching employer contribution through the RRSP, which is administered by CanadaLife.

• Enrol online through CanadaLife and take advantage of the educational tools and resources on smartpathnow.com to learn more about retirement savings and investment concepts.
• Okta will provide you with dollar-for-dollar RRSP match of up to 4% of your base salary pay. This means, to maximize the RRSP match from Okta, you must contribute at least 4% of your base salary pay each pay cycle. However, you can choose to contribute less. You can also contribute more, subject to the annual RRSP contribution limits set by the Canada Revenue Agency.
• Contributions made from your bonus or commission pay are not available within the plan.
• Withdrawal of your regular contributions and the matched contributions made on your behalf or transferring of the previous regular contributions and previous matched contributions to another financial institution while you're employed is not permitted unless required by law. Withdrawals or transfer of contributions made on a voluntary basis (the amount above the matching percentage) is permitted at any time.

Note: Okta sponsors a group RRSP, not a Registered Pension Plan (RPP), which is registered with the Canada Revenue Agency.

You will find the following on your T4 slip:

• Okta’s RRSP contribution is a taxable benefit to the employee and is included in box 40, it is also included in the amount in box 14.
• You will not see amounts in box 20 and/or box 52 because they represent contributions to an RPP.

You can find detailed plan information in the Canada Life TFSA Plan.

To learn more about how you can optimize your RRSP, watch the "Get on track, stay on track" webinar.

The TFSA is a way for you to set money aside tax-free. Contributions to a TFSA are not deductible for income tax purposes, and any amount contributed, as well as any income earned in the account (for example, investment income and capital gains), is generally tax-free, even when it is withdrawn. Administrative or other fees in relation to TFSA and any interest or money borrowed to contribute to a TFSA are not tax deductible.

If you are a new hire after March 1, 2024, you will be able to use a guest access ID and password provided in the enrollment tip sheet to enroll in both the RRSP and TFSA. Existing members who already have an RRSP account can log in to the CanadaLife portal to enroll in the TFSA. Select Saving > Manage portfolio > Enrolment express to get started. See the Canada Life RRSP Plan Booklet for more details.

Okta provides comprehensive life and accident insurance for you at no cost.

• Life insurance: If you die or become disabled, your beneficiary receives a lump-sum payment. The maximum benefit is two times your annual salary, up to CAD 500,000. The benefit reduces by 50% at age 65 and terminates at age 70 or at retirement, whichever is earlier.
• Accident insurance: If you die because of an accident, your beneficiary receives an additional lump-sum payment. The maximum benefit is two times your annual earnings, up to CAD 500,000. The benefit reduces by 50% at age 65 and terminates at age 70 or at retirement, whichever is earlier.
• Dependent life insurance: Your company-paid spouse life insurance benefit is CAD 5,000; dependent children are covered at CAD 2,500 per child.
• Optional employee life insurance: You have the option to enroll and pay at your own cost. This coverage is provided in CAD 10,000 increments up to a maximum of CAD 250,000 (non-evidence limit of CAD 100,000). The benefit terminates at age 70 or at retirement, whichever is earlier.
• Optional spouse life insurance: You have the option to enroll and pay at your own cost. This coverage is provided in CAD 10,000 increments up to a maximum of CAD 250,000 (non-evidence limit of CAD 50,000). This benefit terminates at age 70 or at retirement, whichever is earlier. 

Short-term disability

Okta provides short-term disability coverage at no cost to you. This coverage pays part of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. Your short-term disability benefit provides 70% of your pre-disability income, up to CAD 2,000 per week. After a seven-day waiting period, which can be covered by floater days, coverage runs for up to 17 weeks. The benefit becomes effective on the first day following an accident or on the eighth day of sickness. The benefit terminates at age 70.

Long-term disability

Okta provides long-term disability coverage at no cost to you. This coverage replaces a portion of your income if you become fully disabled due to illness or injury. Coverage begins once short-term disability ends after 17 weeks. Your benefit is a percentage of your pre-disability income: 70% of your monthly earnings (taxable), NEL. The non-evidence maximum benefit is CAD 8,000, up to CAD 15,000 per month. If you are eligible for a higher benefit, you need to provide medical evidence of your good health. You can receive benefits until age 65.

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:

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
