Base Pay & Bonuses

Justworks takes a total rewards approach that includes competitive pay, performance-based rewards, equity, and benefits designed to support employees across different stages of life. Employees may also have access to healthcare coverage, flexible time off, family and parental benefits, wellbeing resources, learning and development support, and financial wellness resources.

  • Development tied to performance conversations: JustGrow, Justworks’ employee performance and development program, provides a structured framework for annual performance reviews and ongoing development cycles. Managers and employees use these conversations to reflect on achievements, identify growth opportunities and chart individualized development paths, creating a clearer connection between performance, contribution and career progression.

What People Are Saying About Justworks

  • Healthcare Strength: Health insurance is described as comprehensive, with medical, dental, and vision options from national and regional carriers and, in some cases, fully paid or affordable plans. Certain offerings extend to mental health services, primary care access, and health advocacy, though deductibles vary by plan.
  • Leave & Time Off Breadth: Paid time off and parental leave stand out, with flexible or unlimited PTO and a published 16 weeks of paid parental leave. While PTO usage can depend on team norms, the formal time-off policies are broad.
  • Wellbeing & Lifestyle Benefits: Wellbeing resources are wide-ranging, including Talkspace mental-health services, One Medical, fitness perks, and fertility or family-building support. Supplemental protections like life and disability insurance and HSA/FSA options are available on select plans.
