Overview
Our benefits program is one of the key ways we support you
You should see yourself reflected in your workplace benefits, with the support you need to effectively manage the many dimensions of your life. We proudly offer comprehensive and inclusive benefits to meet the diverse needs of our employees and their families.
Financial
We understand that financial security is a cornerstone of overall well-being. Our broad range of benefits is designed to help you manage your financial security and save for your future.
The Zscaler stock program offers Restricted Stock Units (RSU) and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) allowing you to invest in Zscaler’s future and share in the company’s success.
- RSUs are granted by the company to eligible employees on an individual basis as deemed appropriate.
- ESPP offers employees an opportunity to purchase Zscaler stock at a minimum 15% discount through payroll deduction twice a year.
At Zscaler, we support your long-term financial wellbeing through a Defined Contribution (DC) pension plan. Full time employees under age 65 years and participating in the Employees’ Pension Insurance system are eligible.
- Monthly Contribution (Pre-Tax): Zscaler contributes 8% of your base salary. You may elect to add voluntary contributions, which are deducted pre-tax from your monthly paycheck, up to a combined limit of ¥55,000 per month.
Life insurance: Zscaler provides Basic life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) benefits to protect you and your family in case of death or serious injury. Zscaler pays for the full cost of this coverage for employees.
Disability insurance plan: Long-term disability insurance provides income protection if an employee is unable to work due to a long-term illness or disability. Zscaler covers the full cost of these premiums.
Work-Life Blend and Time Off
Our hybrid working arrangements, time off policy, parental leave options, and access to our Employee Assistance Program are a few of the ways we help our team members maintain a happier and healthier work-life experience.
Zscaler has adopted a hybrid work model globally, with meetings and community activities taking place both in the office and at home. This environment emphasizes balancing individual work styles with best practices that strengthen trust and collaboration. By providing an environment where employees can do their best work, Zscaler helps drive success across the organization.
Zscaler supports your work-life flexibility, and we encourage you to take the time off that you need. Making time to rest, recharge, and prioritize wellness helps all of us to be our best and contributes to a high-performing culture. Our full time employees receive 25 days offs per calendar year; this is prorated based on start date. Full time employees also receive 10 days of earned sick leave per calendar year.
Zscaler supports employees with families and offers the following parental leave benefits.
Birthing Parents:
- 18 weeks of paid maternity leave for the birth of a single child
- 22 weeks of paid maternity leave for multiple births
- 8 weeks of paid maternity leave in the event of stillbirth
Non-Birthing Parents:
- Secondary caregivers including fathers, adoptive parents, and same-sex partners of the birth mother are eligible for 8 weeks of paid leave, which can be taken within one year of the child’s birth.
All Zscaler employees and their family members have access to an enhanced Employee Assistance Program (EAP) through Telus. This free and confidential program offers localized 1:1 health and well-being support, including counseling services and resources to assist employees and their families with work and home life issues, including finding care for children and elderly parents, education, finances, and more.
Health
The health and well-being of employees and their families is a top priority at Zscaler. Comprehensive health coverage encompasses much more than sick care, but also mental health resources that help employees grow and care for their families.
For information about parental leave, please refer to the “Work-life balance and time off” section on this page.
Employees are encouraged to take advantage of mental health services and wellness programs. These include annual health screening available for themselves and their spouse, 24/7 access to TELUS’s Employee Assistance Program, free access to the Calm meditation app, and more.
