STOCK VESTING EXPLAINED In employee compensation, stock vesting refers to shares held by workers that were granted either via employee stock options (ESOs) or restricted stock units (RSUs); the employee still needs to earn that. Vesting is a legal term that means when property is made or gained by some person. In simple terms, many organizations grant restricted stock or stock options as part of their compensation plans that are accompanied by vesting schedules, meaning the employee needs to hit specific achievements to obtain the right to own the shares.

  5. WHY STOCK VESTING MATTERS? No one likes dead weight, especially in a startup. As the startup team keeps working hard to create value for the organization, an absent founder can curate motivation and morale problems among the rest of the team members. Why should absent founders get to share in the company’s potential upside when they have stopped doing what they said they would do to create value for the company? But — they shouldn’t. And that’s why each startup must establish vesting arrangements among the founders from the start.

For instance, a vesting schedule may offer that an initial part of the stock will be vested after a stipulated waiting period has been met (i.e., a “cliff”). Then, the stock will persist to vest in equal incremental amounts after that for a specified period. Suppose at any time the founder leaves the organization or stops providing services to the company while the stock is still vesting.
