Stock-Type Variable Compensation Plans

Stock-type variable compensation (VC) plans require setup of valuation and funding. Use goals and other optional plan rules. The system uses valuation only for variable compensation reporting purposes because stock prices can change so rapidly.

The variable compensation system provides five stock plan types for your organization's tracking purposes. Within the Variable Compensation business process, the system treats them all the same. Select one of these stock plan types:

Term Definition

Stock ISO

Incentive Stock Option

Stock NQ

Nonqualified Stock Option

Stock NSAR

Stock Appreciation Rights in tandem with a Nonqualified Stock Option

Stock RSA

Restricted Stock Award

Stock ISAR

Stock Appreciation Rights in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option

Stock-type variable compensation plans are supported only for users of PeopleSoft Stock Administration. The system provides specific functionality to support this integration.
