Netflix work not drive and other benefits

I was going through the benefits they have online and I found the work not drive program where they pay you an Uber to commute every day with no limits. Seems too good to be true, are there any restrictions? Also, does Netflix offer mega back door IRA?

I think itโ€™s taxable

Netflix xif Apr 14, 2021

Yes

That is still great! So essentially I can spend $1k a month and I will get $300-$400 withheld from my paycheck?

Itโ€™s an IRS rule. This is the best the company can offer. I use it from time to time when I need to stay late so I miss the shuttle.

does Netflix offer mega back door IRA? Yes

Netflix JUuz56 Apr 15, 2021

Yes to both! I use work not drive all the time. Super helpful. You can even use it to and from the shuttle stops in the city if you want. I also contribute to the mega back door Roth so that is available too.

Yes. I live in SF and taken an Uber to work plenty of times (~$80) one way. No questions asked. Yes we also have mega back door. And given the all cash comp, I max it out each year for $58,000.

You can't do 58000 unless you don't do traditional 401k at all. It's the amount after traditional 401k and match.

Netflix ganach Apr 16, 2021

You are right. Itโ€™s what I meant but should have been explicit

I also just found out that they pay you to be closer to work to reduce your commute. How much do they give you? By how much do you need to reduce your commute?

Netflix ?$(5 Apr 17, 2021

We offer short distance relocation benefit. I donโ€™t think this is cash. We arrange packing and moving and pay for the movers. We also offer rental search assistance.
