• Key Concepts: 
  Restricted stock awards are a type of compensation offered by employers to their employees. They are a form of equity-based compensation, meaning that the employee is given a certain number of shares of the company’s stock, but the employee cannot sell or transfer the shares until certain conditions are met. These conditions can include meeting performance goals, staying with the company for a certain period of time, or other criteria set by the employer. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The SAP PA-EC Enterprise Compensation Management component allows employers to manage their restricted stock awards. Employers can set up and track the conditions for each award, as well as monitor the progress of each employee’s award. The component also allows employers to track and report on the value of their restricted stock awards over time. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up restricted stock awards, employers should consider how long they want employees to stay with the company before they can access their shares. This will help ensure that employees are motivated to stay with the company and meet their performance goals. Employers should also consider how they will track and report on the value of their restricted stock awards over time.
