This overview discusses various forms of worker ownership, including Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and equity compensation plans. ESOPs serve as a company-funded retirement benefit where employees do not pay for shares; a trust owns the shares, providing tax incentives for sellers and employees. Additionally, we cover equity compensation, which includes stock options and restricted stock plans. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for companies looking to enhance employee engagement and secure financial benefits while complying with existing regulations.
