U.S. Union

THE BASICS

Who is eligible?

All full-time, Netflix Studios Animation union employees in the U.S. You are considered full-time if you work 24 or more hours per week. 

Certain individuals on a NAS production are engaged through their own companies - commonly referred to as loan-out corporations. Individuals who are engaged via a loan-out corporation are not NAS employees for purposes of these benefits. NAS will contribute or provide any union-mandated benefits such as health and welfare contributions on behalf of a loan-out corporation as required by a union agreement.

MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS

At Netflix, we know you want to produce work you are proud of. In order to perform your best, you have to feel your best. That is why we provide free access to counseling, coaching, and work-life referrals through Lyra, plus meditation and mindfulness resources through Headspace. 

TIME OFF

We offer additional time off including vacation, floating holidays, and sick time.

EMPLOYEE GIVING

At Netflix, you have the ability to impact the world through the work you do. And we realize you may also want to make an impact in a more personal way. In the spirit of freedom and responsibility, you choose the eligible organization(s) important to you, and Netflix will match your contribution $2 dollars for every $1 you donate up to $20,000 USD (or local currency equivalent). 

FAMILY-FORMING BENEFIT

We want to make sure that all Netflix employees feel supported, no matter where they are in their family-forming journey. That’s why we partner with Carrot to offer a $60K USD lifetime benefit for employees and/or their spouses/partners to use towards their family-forming journey. This includes preservation, fertility, surrogacy & adoption services. Certain non-medical expenses are taxable. 

FORMA BACKUP CARE BENEFIT

Whether you need support for a couple of hours or require assistance for an entire week, our backup care benefit is designed to accommodate your personal needs when your regular care falls through. You can submit backup care expenses for your child/adult dependents and pets up to the annual reimbursement limit. The reimbursement limit is $5,000 for adults/children and $1,000 for pets. Reimbursements are taxable.

LONG-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE (LTD)

It’s important to us that you take care of yourself! Long-Term Disability (LTD) insurance helps supplement up to 60% of your income in the event that you are deemed disabled for more than 180 days.
