Deferring taxation on restricted stock awards, nonqualified stock options and cash awards

Article Abstract:

Companies can help employees defer taxation on compensation through stock-based compensation. A number of companies choose stock-based compensation to augment cash compensation and are given to employees as rewards or incentives. Stocks may come in nonqualified stock options (NQSO) or in incentive stock options (ISO). The NQSO is taxed based on ordinary income tax rates while the ISO is taxed upon sale at the capital gains rate. The NQSO may be shifted into a nonqualified deferred compensation scheme to put off taxation on profits at a later time.

Article Abstract:

Contrary to such concerns, outsourcing brings communication obligations as well as opportunities to employers. In fact, a new type of strategic employee communication is instituted when the outsourcing concept is introduced. Outsourcing benefits administration gives rise to more opportunities for continuing employee communication.
