Employment Law Update: The 114th International Labour Conference: What It Means for Employers and Employees in Cyprus
Employee Share Schemes & Incentives
Giving employees a stake in the business is one of the most effective ways to attract, retain and motivate talent — particularly in technology and high-growth companies. Designing an incentive scheme well means getting the legal structure, the documentation and the tax treatment right together.
We advise companies on establishing and operating share option and share acquisition plans, and we work alongside tax advisers so that the scheme is efficient as well as sound.
What we advise on
- Share option plans and share acquisition / award plans
- Designing scheme rules and eligibility criteria
- Vesting, leaver provisions and treatment on a sale or exit
- Documentation for participants and the company
- The tax treatment of approved employee share schemes
