Understanding Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is a method by which companies compensate employees with equity instead of cash, and its significance has grown over the last few decades. Traditionally reserved for executives, this form of compensation has now become increasingly common for rank-and-file employees, providing them potential wealth-building opportunities. Employees receive stock options or restricted stock units (RSUs), which offer different mechanisms of ownership and tax implications. Recognizing the unique advantages and mechanisms behind stock-based compensation can lead to significant financial gains for employees willing to leverage their equity.
