Why Give Equity to Employees Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Employees are a key factor in the success of startups. Here’s a list of reasons why you should give equity to employees: Recruiting -- the market is competitive, especially for quality candidates. A startup offering equity to employees will find it a competitive advantage over other companies. Retention -- equity vested over time is a useful tool for retaining employees. The employee must work a certain number of years before their shares vest. This is a key factor in building a stable workforce. Motivation -- employees who have an ownership interest in the company are more motivated than those who do not. Tax benefits for the employee -- equity compensation is taxed at long-term gains rather than ordinary income rates that apply to payroll. Tax benefits for the employer -- there’s no income tax cost to the company. Consider these benefits in setting up an equity compensation plan for your startup.
