Equity Based Compensation
Incorporating Equity Awards And Options Into Your Financial Plan
Equity-based compensation has become an important component of the total compensation package for many executives. The reason why is simple. Employers want to incentivize performance, so they create a link between the employees’ net worth and the business’s financial outcomes.
Typically, as an employee rises through an organization, equity-based compensation becomes a greater percentage of their compensation — and of their net worth. There may be many different kinds of equity awards — each with there own special characteristics.
Employees in this situation may face a number of additional challenges that others may not, including:
- Concentrated stock positions
- Understanding the various restrictions on the options
- Tax ramifications upon receipt and/or executing stock options
