Financial + Rewards

Financial benefits

Your financial security is important to us. That’s why we offer a range of financial benefits to support you through any phase of your life—whether it's right now, or years down the road.

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.

Following the publication of the Auto Enrolment Bill if you are currently not contributing to the Okta pension plan, you will be auto-enrolled into the state pension and a mandated contribution will start at 1.5% of your gross salary for the first three years. This will be matched by Okta and topped up by the state with an additional 0.5%. This will make your total contribution 3.5% for the first three years under the state pension. Once you have been enrolled under the state pension, the mandate will increase gradually, according to the time table, up to a maximum of 6%.

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 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.

To get started, complete the enrollment form. Include scheme number 60531617 on the form and return completed application forms to pops@okta.com and aspire@zurich.com. Applications must be executed by either a wet signature (scanned and attached to the email) or a digital signature via Docusign with a digital certificate that accompanies the signed document. A copy of the Docusign must be submitted to pops@okta.com.

Once enrolled in the pension plan, registration details will be issued following receipt of the first month of contributions.

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.

To get your bike or ticket open our company microsite, choose your scheme, and complete the online form and agreement. Once approved and paid by Okta, you will receive a voucher/ticket. New enrollments will be processed by the 1st of each month for the corresponding monthly salary sacrifice to take effect in the following paycheck.

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

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, please take the time to 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.

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.

Entitlement: 25 days annually.

Leaves of absence

Life happens, right? That’s why Okta offers several types of leave – paid and unpaid. Below is a summary of different types of leaves we offer.

Bereavement leave

Okta understands the deep impact that the death of a loved one or a loss of pregnancy can have on an individual and family. That’s why we provide paid bereavement leave.

RelationshipPaid leave allowance
Immediate family member or the loss of pregnancy5 days
Non-immediate family member3 days

Immediate family members include: your parent or stepparent, your spouse/partner, your child, your sibling, your grandparent or step grandparent, your grandchild or step grandchild, and your parent-in-law or step parent-in-law. If you need additional time off, talk to your manager about taking unpaid personal leave.

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.

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 honored. 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

If you need additional time off, talk to your manager about taking unpaid personal leave.
