Both the company as well as the employee are exposed to financial and legal risks. The process is complex and difficult today because of the many factors at play. Equity regulations are constantly changing in each country. You and your employees are exposed to financial penalties. Tax codes for equity can be extremely complex. It's easy to make mistakes and miss out on big tax breaks. It takes a lot of time to set up and maintain global equity plans. It requires extensive and expensive research. I send out grant letters and run board approvals manually. It's difficult to keep up with what's going on, it takes a long time and mistakes can happen. Stay compliant and avoid any problems with preemptive notifications that keep you informed of potential exposure issues.
