Performance pays
November 11, 2009
Employers plan to continue handing out performance-linked stock-plan benefits at all employee levels, and some are boosting those benefits, according to a new Charles Schwab survey. Among the other findings:
• 25 percent of corporate stock-plan decision makers responding to the survey said they plan to increase the benefits in the next year.
• 68 percent plan to maintain benefits at the current level.
• Half of participating companies offer performance-based stock to manager-level employees.
• 48 percent offer manager-level employees stock options.
