A stock plan is a company benefit that offers employees the opportunity to purchase company stock at a discounted rate. Certain plans come with specific limits—such as when and how much you can purchase. While employees aren’t obligated to participate, stock plans can bring benefits for both parties.
There are several different forms of stock-based compensation you can offer employees depending on your business needs. Some of the more common forms of stock-based compensation include stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee stock purchase plans (ESPP).
Stock plans can be a favorable choice for companies who are looking to attract and retain top talent. They provide employees the ability to receive or purchase shares of company stock as part of employee compensation and can help keep employees motivated by incentivizing their hard work with shared earnings. Some stock plans can also deliver certain tax advantages for employers.
Employee stock plans can offer many potential benefits for both employers and employees. These benefits include providing employees an opportunity to share directly in the company’s success through stock holdings, they align the interests of the employee with the shareholders and provide a benefit to help employers attract and retain talent. Stock plans can also help companies maintain a competitive edge while providing a unique financial opportunity for employees.
