worked. Thus the premium paid to the worker is a percentageof the time worked. If we consider our previous example,then the total earnings of the worker under the Rowan Planwould be:

An employee stock ownership plan (abbreviated to "ESOP")is the practice of companies giving staff members shares intheir company as part of their salary.
An ESOP is a defined contribution employee benefit planthat allows employees to become owners of stock in thecompany they work for. It is an equity based deferredcompensation plan. Under the ESOP plan, companies providetheir employees the opportunity to acquire the company'sshares at a reduced price over a period of time.
Many companies use employee stock options plans to
compensate, retain, and attract employees. These plans arecontracts between a company and its employees that giveemployees the right to buy a specific number of thecompanys shares at a fixed price within a certain period oftime. Employees who are granted stock options hope toprofit by exercising their options at a higher price than whenthey were granted.
