Healthcare

Okta automatically provides a monthly stipend to help offset the cost of your healthcare expenses.

The monthly stipend is a taxable benefit and all employees are defaulted into the employee-only coverage amount of EUR 200.
If you have family coverage in place, the monthly stipend for family coverage is EUR 300. Please reach out to pops@okta.com to submit documentation showing family coverage is in place to receive the family stipend amount.

You also have the option to join Meijers CZ Healthcare Collective.

In the Netherlands, you are not permitted to be uninsured. If you do not have coverage in place you will need to seek coverage. As an option, you can consider joining the Meijers CZ Healthcare Collective.

NOTE: A collective number for Okta at CZ is not available as there is no collective in the name of Okta. Through our benefits broker, Meijers, employees use the collective of Meijers to get discounted rates. When entering the name “Meijers” in the collective finder on the CZ website, the MKB Meijers collective is Zorgpremie berekenen voor uw zorgverzekering - CZ.

Pension

As a supplement to the government pension, you contribute 3% of your pensionable salary to our retirement plan.

Accidental death and dismemberment insurance

The plan provides a lump-sum payment of your base salary and bonus if you die due to an accident. It pays up to two times your annual base salary and bonus if you become permanently disabled or dismembered. A maximum benefit applies.

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:

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.

Okta perks

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 Wiki to see what’s happening in your local space.

Car allowance

Okta provides a car allowance to employees in certain job roles.

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 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. 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: vacation time and holiday allowance to rest, relax, and refresh; volunteer time off to give back to communities in which we live and work; and paid holidays, observed globally and locally. Be sure to give your manager advance notice before scheduling your vacation and volunteer time off. You should schedule your time off requests through Workday.

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 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 qualified dependents. Generally, this is consistent with how your health plan defines dependents. Some examples include:

A legal spouse or registered domestic partner
A child between the ages of 6 and 26
A relative that resides in the same household

You will receive up to 8 therapy + 8 coaching sessions per person per calendar year, in addition to unlimited access to Modern Health digital resources, like Meditations and Soundscapes, and Community Circles.

Getting started with Modern Health

Modern Health dependent access is initiated by the employee through the app settings. They provide some basic information such as name, birthdate, and email address, and then Modern Health sends a message to them to register. In most countries it's only available to those 6+ for therapy, and 18+ for all content. Learn more about getting started with Modern Health.

Connecting on your terms

Modern Health provides you with up to eight video sessions with your coach or therapist. You also have unlimited access to your coach through text or email.

If your coach or your well-being survey indicates you have a clinical need—for example, you may suffer from depression—Modern Health will recommend a therapist to work with in addition to your dedicated coach.

As you get to the end of your covered sessions, you and your coach or therapist can work with Modern Health to determine the next steps for continuing your relationship.
