Benefits:
We’ve gotcha covered. Go Daddy pays 100% of the medical/dental premiums for all active full-time employees and 50% for any qualified dependants on the plan. And guess what? These great benefits start your first day of employment with us.
I need a vacation. Go Daddy provides an abundant amount of vacation to all of its full-time employees, starting with 3 weeks (15 days, 120 hours) in the first year! After you complete 1 year of employment with Go Daddy, you jump up to 4 weeks per year (20 days, 160 hours). Upon completion of your 4th year, you start accruing 6 weeks (30 days, 240 hours) per year.
I don't feel so good. Beginning with your first day on the job, full-time Go Daddy employees receive 6 days (48 hours) of paid sick time each year.
I feel great! To show appreciation to employees with stellar attendance, Go Daddy will compensate each employee for the total number of unused sick hours over 96.
Let's get personal. In addition to all that vacation and sick time, Go Daddy provides all full-time employees with 2 paid personal days (16 hours) per year.
Holidays off. Full-time Go Daddy employees receive payment for 8 holidays each calendar year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving (need time for all that food to settle, right?), and Christmas Day.
Special outings. Go Daddy employees enjoy regular team appreciation outings -- afternoons at the movies, bowling, cart-racing, and hockey games - all on the house.
Planning for the future. Go Daddy’s 401(k) allows employees to make pre-tax contributions to a retirement investment account. Participating employees pay no taxes on their payroll contributions (or gains on these contributions) until they take a distribution. In addition, Go Daddy will match employee contributions, up to $5,000, beginning within 90 days after the first day of employment - and all matching contributions are fully vested after one year!
Endless pursuit of knowledge. Go Daddy encourages its employees to continue their educations by paying for classes and seminars that benefit employees and the company in an amount up to $5,250 per calendar year.
What else could you possibly ask for? In addition to highly competitive salaries, we offer life insurance, short-term and long-term disability, maternity/paternity leave, adoption assistance, subsidized lunches, and Go Daddy employee discounts. *This summary is not intended to replace the legal documents that describe these plans in greater detail. The provisions of these plans are subject to change at any time.
Go Daddy Cares:
Go Daddy is proud of its long history of charitable patronage and supporting the communities that its employees call home.
During the past two years, Go Daddy’s philanthropic works supported a wide variety of charitable and community organizations dedicated to such causes as domestic violence, child abuse, blind children, teenage homelessness, animal shelters and more. Major recipients of Go Daddy contributions over the past several years include the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, the Arizona Humane Society, the Phoenix Zoo, Chrysalis, HomeBase Youth Services, and the Salvation Army. For a complete list of Go Daddy’s 2007 – 2008 community and charitable patronage, see below.
Go Daddy’s employees have also participated in a series of events to raise money for charitable causes.

Other Go Daddy employee efforts have included the annual Toys for Tots drive, as well as donations to St. Mary’s Food Bank during the holiday season.
