What is Employee Stock Incentive Plan (ESIP)? And How It Works?

An incentive stock option or employee stock incentive plan is a type of company benefit that bring employees the right to buy company stock at an offered price and can get high tax benefits over the company’s profit. ESIP is framed with the intention to retain key managers and employees. It mostly benefits organizations under the tax sections. 

ESIPs are issued and vested usually by the price set by the company’s authority. It delivers employees the right to buy the company’s stock option available to buy on the exercise date. Once they bought the company’s share they will get the liberty to sell such share initially or should have to wait till the new date is being launched.

Why add ESIP to Company?

There is nothing to hide when it comes to filing taxes no one likes to do it. Especially when you find out you have not been filing taxes in the US for years because you don’t know the norms! I faced this situation once and I know how terrible it is.
Thanks to Profits View they saved me from that situation and made taxation process much easier. They are great advisors and their knowledge of legal tax norms is beyond excellence. I can’t imagine dealing with such a terrible situation on my own. My tax consultant is very patient, he keeps up with me throughout the whole filing process. He responded to all my questions promptly and was consistent with me to ensure whether I am filing the information right or not. What I really like is their service deliverance which is fast and straightforward. All my taxation is done under promised tenure. I recommend them to everyone.

My company does not count as a startup, is it possible to issue SEIP to another employee who is also a legit shareholder too?

Yes, it is possible being a privately owned business you can give ESIP to the company’s permanent employee who’s the business shareholder too. Besides, If the person is the director and wants to get the allotment of share or holding company’s  ESIP (indirectly or directly through their relatives) they cannot hold up to 10% capital of the firm.  

Some employees now-a-days prefer to work as a full-time employee for companies, will they also be liable to take the benefit of ESIP?

No, if the person is found to be a full time employee and is not counted on the company’s payroll then they are not liable to take benefit of ESIP. Only the permanent employee is liable to avail such.

Will there be any minimum no. of months for the vesting period under the ESIP scheme if the company is not listed? Or as per the regulatory framework would it be as low as three (3) months or similar to the minimum tenure?

Whether you run a listed or unlisted company, according to scheme norms the minimum vesting period determined would be of “1” one year. However, in graded vesting, the vesting can be made systematically like on a quarterly, monthly, or annual basis.

Can I frame the ESIP exercise price lower than the face value?

No, The organization cannot set its ESIP exercise price lower than the face value of the company’s shares. It can only be set lower than the prevailing market price or even at a discounted price.

Is It possible to frame different exercise prices for each employee considering the same exercise date?

Yes,  the exercise prices can be framed differently considering the class and level of employees on an optional basis.
