Retirement Provisions for Equity Awards: From Eligibility to FICA

Retirement Provisions for Equity Awards: From Eligibility to FICA

Includes a Live Web Event on 11/18/2026 at 1:30 PM (EST)

Retirement is no longer a fixed event — and how your equity awards treat retirement-eligible employees shapes their decisions, their financial outcomes, and their sense of fairness. As long-term incentives make up a larger share of total compensation, retirement provisions have become a design choice you can't afford to get wrong. You'll leave knowing how to build practices that balance your recruitment and retention goals with cost management — while supporting employees as they transition out of the workforce.

Key questions this webinar will answer:

  • Why and how do companies pay out equity awards to retirees?
  • Does retirement treatment vary by employee rank, award type, or employee location?
  • What requirements must retirees fulfill to receive award payouts, such as minimum notice periods, continued service requirements, and noncompetes? 
  • How do companies administer FICA payments on RSUs for employees who are eligible to retire? 

A recording of the webinar will be posted shortly after conclusion of the live broadcast.
