Employees are valuable assets for companies, and it is important for companies to maintain their satisfaction and loyalty.
One way this can be done is by offering a share ownership agreement, or Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP), known in Indonesia as Employee Stock Ownership Program (PKSK).
What is an Employee Stock Ownership Agreement?
Employee share ownership agreements are company policies that give employees the opportunity to own company shares.
This program not only increases employee ownership and loyalty, but also provides investment returns for the company.
Usually, the shares are offered at a price lower than the market value as a token of appreciation for the employee’s dedication and hard work.
Under this program, the fair value of the shares is calculated based on the net amount, which is the value after deducting the amount payable by the employee at the time of receiving the shares.
This program is attractive because it can bind employees longer and provide long-term financial benefits for both parties.
What is the Share Sharing Scheme?
According to Article 42 paragraph (3) of the Company Law, the shares given to employees as part of the ESOP must be clearly regulated.
The shares are not automatically given to all employees, but are offered based on company policy.
Employees who own shares in the form of an ESOP have rights similar to minority shareholders.
They are entitled to attend and vote in the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS), receive dividends, and file a lawsuit if they feel aggrieved by company decisions.
The Importance of Employee Share Ownership Agreements
Employee share ownership agreements must be carefully drafted to avoid problems in the future.
It should include important clauses such as the identity of the parties, the term of the PKSK, rights and obligations, as well as the share price and mode of payment.
In addition, the agreement should also include restrictions on the transfer of shares and tax specs related to the program.
This is to ensure that the employee’s rights and the company’s obligations are legally guaranteed.
