How do I grant options to employees?

Offtoa provides two ways to grant options to employees:

  • As an initial incentive to join the company. To enter this, click on assumptions/costs/personnel/employees on the menu. Enter the value of this one-time incentive stock option under the column labeled Value of Initial Option Package. You can regulate the “value” of a stock option on the assumptions/financing/investment/options screen (note that this affects the value of options for all employees)
  • As an annual reward for being with the company. Click on assumptions/costs/personnel/employees on the menu. Under the column labeled Initial Base Salary, enter the fair market salary that this individual would earn. Then click on the Advanced button. Under the Paid Percentage, enter what percent of that salary you want paid to the employee in the form of a check. The remaining compensation will be handled with additional stock options using the “value” you set on the assumptions/financing/investment/options screen.
