Financial + Rewards

Financial benefits

Pension plan

Planning for and keeping track of the income you’ll have for the future starts today. Okta helps by contributing towards your retirement through the pension plan, administered by Zurich Life.

Okta matches your contributions, up to 6% of your base salary. You are 100% vested in the pension plan and Okta’s contributions immediately.

New employees: You must actively enroll to participate in the Okta pension or retirement savings scheme. We recommend completing this action as soon as possible to receive a company match in the closest pay period from your date of hire.

Enrollment Form – Include scheme number 60531617 on the form and return completed application forms to pops@okta.com and aspire@zurich.com.

Please be advised that applications must be executed by either (a) wet signature (scanned and attached to the email) or (b) digital signature – via Docusign/Nitrosign/AdobeSign with a digital certificate that accompanies the signed document.

Life insurance and income protection

Okta’s life insurance cover provides financial protection by helping you take care of your family in the event you die. Life insurance cover is four times your base salary and is administered by New Ireland. Okta pays 100% of the cost for this coverage. Income protection is ⅔ of your basic salary less once the State Disability Benefit, deferred period of 26 weeks, 3% escalation capped at CPI.

Bike to Work and TravelPass schemes

We have partnered with TravelHub to offer you an easy online service to help you take advantage of the government Bike to Work and TravelPass schemes.

Through the scheme, you can buy a bike and accessories of up to €1,250 for regular bikes or €1,500 for electric bikes and up to €3,000 for cargo and ecargo bikes. The cost is deducted from your salary and you save up to half of the total price. Using TravelHub, you can choose from over 350 bike shops and travel operators so there’s something to suit everyone.

Here’s how to get your bike or ticket:

Open our company microsite and choose your scheme.
Complete the online form.

You’ll be asked to complete an online agreement. Once approved and paid by Okta, you will receive a voucher/ticket.

Participation timing: New enrolments will be processed by the 1st of each month for the corresponding monthly salary sacrifice to take effect in the following paycheque.

If you have any questions, please reach out to pops@okta.com.

Business travel accident cover and travel assistance

Your safety and security is very important to us, especially while you are traveling on company business. With that in mind, we are pleased to provide you with business travel accident (BTA) insurance from an AIG member company. With this coverage, you have access to AIG’s business travel insurance plan in the event you experience any travel inconveniences, security issues or medical emergencies while traveling anywhere in the world.

If you’re traveling on behalf of Okta for company business, you (and your eligible dependents, if traveling with you) are covered if something happens, and there is no cost to you.

As part of this coverage, you are also provided with travel assistance services from AIG. Services available to you include:

Travel security assistance
Travel medical assistance
Identity theft assistance
Concierge services

To get started with your BTA insurance, please take the time to review this information:

Assistance services ID card
Videos to help you get started with the AIG travel assistance app and website

Mobile phone and internet

Okta reimburses full-time employees for personal cell phone and internet service. A monthly maximum reimbursement amount applies. For more details, see the T&E policy on the Expenses Wiki.

You need to submit your cell phone and internet receipts for approval and reimbursement.

Rewards

Your base pay works together with Okta’s bonus, equity grants (aka, “long-term incentives” or “RSUs”), and 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

How the cash incentive bonus program works

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 sets a grant price based on the monthly average trading price for 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. Eligible employees have two opportunities each year to enroll: May and November.

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

The ESPP may be a great investment

Through simple after-tax payroll deductions, you can purchase shares of Okta stock at a minimum 15% discount.

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.

Enrol online in May or November

You must enrol for the ESPP while the enrolment period is open. If you miss the window, you’ll need to wait until the next open enrolment 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.

Time Away

Okta offers several benefits that provide you with time away from work: From paid holidays to vacation time to rest, relax, and refresh, and volunteer time off to give back to communities in which we live and work. Be sure to give your manager advance notice before scheduling your time away. You should schedule your time off requests through Workday.

Okta Paid parental leave

Okta is proud to offer an 18-week parental leave that is equitable and extends to all parents, regardless of birthing or caregiver status. Okta coordinates with local statutory leave laws to provide you with income replacement while you’re away. You can take your leave all at once or intermittently (in at least week-long increments), within 12 months of your child’s birth or placement.

Parental Leave

Separately, parents are statutorily entitled to 26 weeks of unpaid parental leave until their child reaches age 12.

Maternity leave

Under this policy, statutory leave rights are also honoured. Receive a total entitlement of 26 weeks paid via social welfare entitlements.

With Okta’s enhanced pay, you receive 100% of your salary for 18 weeks, and then 8 weeks are unpaid by Okta and paid only to the extent that social welfare beneﬁts are available. You are also entitled to 16 additional weeks of unpaid maternity leave with no entitlement to social welfare payments.

Paternity leave

Receive 2 weeks of social welfare entitlements which with Okta’s enhanced pay, is 2 weeks that you will be paid at 100%. You will then receive 16 more weeks of Okta enhanced parental leave, covering 100% of your base salary.

Per local rules, paternity leave applies to same-sex partners.

Other leaves

Okta recognises that from time to time, employees may have the need to take a leave of absence. Okta provides several types of leave to meet your needs. For questions on your leave eligibility, email pops@okta.com.

Everyday Wellbeing

Employee assistance program (EAP)

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 to provide incredible benefits for your holistic well-being.

Modern Health, Okta’s EAP provider, balances 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, all at no cost to you.

How Modern Health can help you and your family

Modern Health provides support for many areas:

Work performance—find coaching and support to improve productivity, leadership skills, work relationships, and professional development
Financial well-being—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 identities
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
