Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of providing an employee incentive and compensation plan, comprising: deferring a portion of an employee's compensation over a first period of time; selecting a financial performance metric representative of a financial performance of said employee's company; converting by a computer said employee's deferred compensation into an initial number of units by dividing said total deferred compensation by a stock share price of the employee's company averaged over a second period of time; determining by the computer a financial performance value as an average of the financial performance metric over the first period of time; correlating by the computer the determined financial performance value to a unit multiplier; converting by the computer said employee's initial number of units into a final number of units based on the correlated unit multiplier; determining by the computer a share price value as an average stock share price of the employee's company over a third period of time; correlating by the computer the determined share price value to a share price multiplier; converting by the computer said final number of units into a number of shares of stock based on the correlated share price multiplier; and providing a total compensation plan to said employee after said first period of time wherein said total compensation plan includes said number of shares of stock.
