Equity compensation is non-cash form of employee pay that represents ownership in the company, and it allows the employees to share in the growth of the company and/or the profits. This type of compensation can take many forms, including options, restricted stock, and performance shares. Many startup companies will use this as a form of compensation to keep employee costs low while they grow. This kind of compensation is also used by companies that are looking to help build retention.
