Welcome!

Okta provides you with private medical insurance (PMI) benefits through AXA and dental benefits through BUPA. Employee and dependent premiums are company-funded benefits, paid in full by Okta, and premiums are a taxable to the employee.

PMI in the United Kingdom is designed to complement the National Health Service (NHS) by covering the cost of private treatment for non-emergency acute conditions. An acute condition is a disease, illness, or injury that is likely to respond quickly to treatment. Long-term illnesses are not usually covered.

The AXA PMI plan available to you provides comprehensive cover for your healthcare needs, including:

• Group private medical insurance policy provided by AXA (plan # 97024)
• Medical history disregarded underwriting
• Comprehensive cover 
• £100 excess per person per year 
• Participating facility
• Family cash benefit of £150 for each birth or adoption 
• Virtual care through Dr@hand
• Full refund for outpatient services
• Employee assistance program (EAP) telephonic support
• Full refund for mental health treatment
• Neurodiversity support

As of September 1, 2024, the plan now offers menopause and perimenopause cover. You can contact AXA for referrals to a specialist for the treatment of menopause and perimenopausal symptoms and AXA will assist you in finding a specialist accredited by the British Menopause Society (BMS). The benefit covers consultations, blood tests and ultrasounds in respect of flare-ups but not routine monitoring of these conditions.

Mental health support

Your healthcare coverage also offers mental health support through their AXA Stronger Minds program as well as additional talk counseling and therapy options through the employee EAP built into the PMI scheme. Okta also provides an array of mental health programming to you. Please refer to the Modern Health section which is Okta’s primary mental health program. 

You can also view the AXA benefits guide and summary found in the Resources section to make sense of all the mental health resources available to you as Okta UK employees.
 

Okta offers dental insurance through BUPA to help you manage the cost of dental care throughout the year. Whether it’s for routine check-ups, a scale and polish or more complex treatments, most people will visit their dentist at least once or twice a year to ensure that they maintain a good standard of oral health. As a member of the Bupa Dental Care Level 4 plan, there is no pre-joining application and you are immediately covered for eligible dental treatment, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. The plan covers the costs of treatment from a private dentist up to annual limits for different types of routine treatment such as:

• Examinations up to £70 per year, maximum of 2 per year
• Scale and polish up to £90 per year, maximum of 2 per year
• X-Rays up to £90 per year
• Fillings and root canal treatment up to £350 per year
• Extractions up to £200 per year
• Restorative dental treatment per year – 80% of costs up to £2,000 per year
• Orthodontic treatment IOTN scale 4/5 up to £600 per year
• Emergency dental treatment up to £1000 per year
• Dental injury treatment up to £5,000 per year
• Reimbursement of costs of NHS treatment up to local NHS limits for dental treatment
• Cash benefit for hospital stay - £100 per night up to £1,000 per year
• Oral cancer treatment – no annual benefit limits

Okta will cover you/and your dependents. Dependent children are covered on the plan up to the renewal date following their 24th birthday.

Okta offers a vision benefit, which covers you for an eye test and spectacles, if needed, for use with visual display equipment. Vouchers can be obtained from the benefits team and exchanged in over 950 stores by accessing the Specsavers website. If spectacles are needed for visual display use, the voucher will cover up to £69 towards the cost of glasses. Please contact pops@okta.com to request the VDU voucher.

Okta is committed to your health, wellbeing, and everyday performance and believe that cost shouldn’t be a barrier to good health. With the voluntary cash allowance scheme through Simplyhealth, you can claim money back towards the cost of medical check-ups, appointments, and treatments to help keep you and your loved ones physically and mentally fit. This benefit is fully paid by Okta and is available for Okta employees and their dependents. 
Examples of cash back-eligible items, up to a maximum level of coverage, when you pay for your treatment at time of service for:

• Health screens
• Specialist consultations and diagnostic tests
• Prescriptions
• Therapy treatments, including physiotherapy and acupuncture
• Eye exams, prescription glasses, and contact lenses
• Dental treatment needed as a result of an accident

You can also receive cash payouts, up to plan limits, to cover costs for:

• Multi-night hospital stays
• Birth or adoption of a new child

Simplyhealth can also help support several wellbeing issues including mental health and physical concerns such as MSK problems. Also included in the Simplyhealth policy are virtual primary care visits. To get more information, or to book an appointment, download the SimplyConsult app, which gives you access to the 24/7 service.
If you’re a new employees or would like to make any changes, complete the UK medical, dental and cash allowance scheme enrollment form and return it to pops@okta.com.
Note that you need to opt-in to these voluntary benefits and that while it is company-paid, it’s treated as benefits-in-kind and therefore taxable to you. 

Okta’s pension helps you plan and save for your retirement on a tax-favored basis. Each year, Okta will contribute an amount equal to 5% of your salary, provided you contribute at least 5% of your salary through salary sacrifice. Contributions are based on annual basic salary (paid monthly). Note: you must contribute the full 5% contribution in order to receive the company contribution of 5%. Therefore, an employee salary sacrifice of 1-4% will receive no employer contribution. 

With salary sacrifice, you agree to give up part of your contractual gross salary in return for non-cash benefits, such as pension contributions. The amount you give up is taken from your gross salary and paid straight into your pension as an employer contribution. You do not pay any tax or National Insurance Contributions (NICs) on your contributions, which helps you to maximize your take home pay by reducing your NICs. Okta also benefits from reduced employer NICs. 

If you’re a new employee, you will automatically be enrolled in the pension scheme with Aviva, effective the first of the month following your date of hire, if eligible. If you wish to opt-out of the pension scheme, you have 30 days to do so by calling Aviva at 0800 056 3192 or visiting their website. Read the important information and confirm to POPs that you personally submitted the notice to opt-out. If you would like to make a contribution change to your pension scheme, complete the Pension Change Form.

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 provides a car allowance to employees in certain job roles.

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.
