Retaining key employees

Description

Abstract: Strategies to identify, retain and reward key employees are a must — and the most effective incentives are usually monetary. Generally, they are offered in the form of nonqualified plans, which are much more flexible than qualified plans concerning benefits, contributions, and participation requirements, and so can be tailored to a particular person’s situation. This article discusses three types: restricted stock, incentive stock options, and nonqualified stock options.
