For leveraged ESOPs, the employer records the ESOP's outside debt as its own debt, charges shares issued to the ESOP to a contra-equity account (\"unearned ESOP shares\"), and recognizes compensation cost at the fair value of shares as they are committed to be released; for nonleveraged ESOPs, compensation cost equals the contribution called for in the period. It also prescribes dividend treatment (allocated shares to retained earnings; unallocated shares as debt reduction or compensation cost), EPS treatment, termination accounting, and disclosures.","concepts":["employee stock ownership plan","leveraged esop","unearned esop shares","committed to be released shares","suspense account shares","allocated versus unallocated dividends","put option repurchase obligation","if-converted eps"],"categories":["Stock compensation","Compensation and benefits","Earnings per share","Debt and equity"],"level":"advanced","topic_title":"Compensation—Stock Compensation","sections":[{"number":"00","label":"00 Status","anchor":"00-status","is_sec":false,"groups":[{"block":null,"heading":null,"paragraphs":[{"citation":"718-40-00-1","para":"00-1","html":"<div class=\"asc-body\"><div class=\"norm-text\">The following table identifies the changes made to this Subtopic.</div><div class=\"norm-text\"><table class=\"asc-table\" id=\"SL14450879-165351\"><tr><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Paragraph</strong></td><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Action</strong></td><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Accounting Standards Update</strong></td><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Date</strong></td></tr><tr><td class=\"entry\"></td><td class=\"entry\"></td><td class=\"entry\"></td><td class=\"entry\"></td></tr><tr><td class=\"entry\"><a href=\"/glossary/e/#employee\" class=\"term\" title=\"An individual over whom the grantor of a share-based compensation award exercises or has the right to exercise sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship based on common law as illustrated in case law and currently under U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Revenue Ruling 87-41. A reporting entity based in a foreign jurisdiction would determine whether an employee-employer relationship exists based on the pertinent laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, a grantee meets the definition of an employee if the grantor consistently represents that individual to be an employee under common law. The definition of an employee for payroll tax purposes under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code includes common law employees. Accordingly, a grantor that classifies a grantee potentially subject to U.S. payroll taxes as an employee also must represent that individual as an employee for payroll tax purposes (unless the grantee is a leased employee as described below). A grantee does not meet the definition of an employee solely because the grantor represents that individual as an employee for some, but not all, purposes. For example, a requirement or decision to classify a grantee as an employee for U.S. payroll tax purposes does not, by itself, indicate that the grantee is an employee because the grantee also must be an employee of the grantor under common law. A leased individual is deemed to be an employee of the lessee if all of the following requirements are met: The leased individual qualifies as a common law employee of the lessee, and the lessor is contractually required to remit payroll taxes on the compensation paid to the leased individual for the services provided to the lessee. The lessor and lessee agree in writing to all of the following conditions related to the leased individual: The lessee has the exclusive right to grant stock compensation to the individual for the employee service to the lessee. The lessee has a right to hire, fire, and control the activities of the individual. (The lessor also may have that right.) The lessee has the exclusive right to determine the economic value of the services performed by the individual (including wages and the number of units and value of stock compensation granted). The individual has the ability to participate in the lessee's employee benefit plans, if any, on the same basis as other comparable employees of the lessee. The lessee agrees to and remits to the lessor funds sufficient to cover the complete compensation, including all payroll taxes, of the individual on or before a contractually agreed upon date or dates. A nonemployee director does not satisfy this definition of employee. Nevertheless, nonemployee directors acting in their role as members of a board of directors are treated as employees if those directors were elected by the employer's shareholders or appointed to a board position that will be filled by shareholder election when the existing term expires. However, that requirement applies only to awards granted to nonemployee directors for their services as directors. Awards granted to those individuals for other services shall be accounted for as awards to nonemployees.

Accordingly, an individual meets the definition of an employee if the reporting entity consistently represents that individual to be an employee under common law. The definition of an employee for payroll tax purposes under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code includes common law employees. Accordingly, a reporting entity that classifies an individual potentially subject to U.S. payroll taxes as an employee also must represent that individual as an employee for payroll tax purposes (unless the individual is a leased employee as described below). An individual that meets the definition of an employee includes, but is not limited to, a full-time, part-time, temporary, or seasonal employee. An individual does not meet the definition of an employee solely because the reporting entity represents that individual as an employee for some, but not all, purposes. For example, a requirement or decision to classify an individual as an employee for U.S. payroll tax purposes does not, by itself, indicate that the individual is an employee because the individual also must be an employee of the reporting entity under common law.

to exercise sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship based on common law as illustrated in case law and currently under U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Revenue Ruling 87-41. A reporting entity based in a foreign jurisdiction would determine whether an employee-employer relationship exists based on the pertinent laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, a grantee meets the definition of an employee if the grantor consistently represents that individual to be an employee under common law. The definition of an employee for payroll tax purposes under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code includes common law employees. Accordingly, a grantor that classifies a grantee potentially subject to U.S. payroll taxes as an employee also must represent that individual as an employee for payroll tax purposes (unless the grantee is a leased employee as described below). A grantee does not meet the definition of an employee solely because the grantor represents that individual as an employee for some, but not all, purposes. For example, a requirement or decision to classify a grantee as an employee for U.S. payroll tax purposes does not, by itself, indicate that the grantee is an employee because the grantee also must be an employee of the grantor under common law. A leased individual is deemed to be an employee of the lessee if all of the following requirements are met: The leased individual qualifies as a common law employee of the lessee, and the lessor is contractually required to remit payroll taxes on the compensation paid to the leased individual for the services provided to the lessee. The lessor and lessee agree in writing to all of the following conditions related to the leased individual: The lessee has the exclusive right to grant stock compensation to the individual for the employee service to the lessee. The lessee has a right to hire, fire, and control the activities of the individual. (The lessor also may have that right.) The lessee has the exclusive right to determine the economic value of the services performed by the individual (including wages and the number of units and value of stock compensation granted). The individual has the ability to participate in the lessee's employee benefit plans, if any, on the same basis as other comparable employees of the lessee. The lessee agrees to and remits to the lessor funds sufficient to cover the complete compensation, including all payroll taxes, of the individual on or before a contractually agreed upon date or dates. A nonemployee director does not satisfy this definition of employee. Nevertheless, nonemployee directors acting in their role as members of a board of directors are treated as employees if those directors were elected by the employer's shareholders or appointed to a board position that will be filled by shareholder election when the existing term expires. However, that requirement applies only to awards granted to nonemployee directors for their services as directors. Awards granted to those individuals for other services shall be accounted for as awards to nonemployees.

A reporting entity based in a foreign jurisdiction would determine whether an employee-employer relationship exists based on the pertinent laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, an individual meets the definition of an employee if the reporting entity consistently represents that individual to be an employee under common law. The definition of an employee for payroll tax purposes under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code includes common law employees. Accordingly, a reporting entity that classifies an individual potentially subject to U.S. payroll taxes as an employee also must represent that individual as an employee for payroll tax purposes (unless the individual is a leased employee as described below). An individual that meets the definition of an employee includes, but is not limited to, a full-time, part-time, temporary, or seasonal employee. An individual does not meet the definition of an employee solely because the reporting entity represents that individual as an employee for some, but not all, purposes. For example, a requirement or decision to classify an individual as an employee for U.S. payroll tax purposes does not, by itself, indicate that the individual is an employee because the individual also must be an employee of the reporting entity under common law.

Accordingly, a grantee meets the definition of an employee if the grantor consistently represents that individual to be an employee under common law. The definition of an employee for payroll tax purposes under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code includes common law employees. Accordingly, a grantor that classifies a grantee potentially subject to U.S. payroll taxes as an employee also must represent that individual as an employee for payroll tax purposes (unless the grantee is a leased employee as described below). A grantee does not meet the definition of an employee solely because the grantor represents that individual as an employee for some, but not all, purposes. For example, a requirement or decision to classify a grantee as an employee for U.S. payroll tax purposes does not, by itself, indicate that the grantee is an employee because the grantee also must be an employee of the grantor under common law.

The lessor and lessee agree in writing to all of the following conditions related to the leased individual: The lessee has the exclusive right to grant stock compensation to the individual for the employee service to the lessee. The lessee has a right to hire, fire, and control the activities of the individual. (The lessor also may have that right.) The lessee has the exclusive right to determine the economic value of the services performed by the individual (including wages and the number of units and value of stock compensation granted). The individual has the ability to participate in the lessee's employee benefit plans, if any, on the same basis as other comparable employees of the lessee. The lessee agrees to and remits to the lessor funds sufficient to cover the complete compensation, including all payroll taxes, of the individual on or before a contractually agreed upon date or dates. A nonemployee director does not satisfy this definition of employee. Nevertheless, nonemployee directors acting in their role as members of a board of directors are treated as employees if those directors were elected by the employer's shareholders or appointed to a board position that will be filled by shareholder election when the existing term expires. However, that requirement applies only to awards granted to nonemployee directors for their services as directors.

based on common law as illustrated in case law and currently under U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Revenue Ruling 87-41. A reporting entity based in a foreign jurisdiction would determine whether an employee-employer relationship exists based on the pertinent laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, a grantee meets the definition of an employee if the grantor consistently represents that individual to be an employee under common law. The definition of an employee for payroll tax purposes under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code includes common law employees. Accordingly, a grantor that classifies a grantee potentially subject to U.S. payroll taxes as an employee also must represent that individual as an employee for payroll tax purposes (unless the grantee is a leased employee as described below). A grantee does not meet the definition of an employee solely because the grantor represents that individual as an employee for some, but not all, purposes. For example, a requirement or decision to classify a grantee as an employee for U.S. payroll tax purposes does not, by itself, indicate that the grantee is an employee because the grantee also must be an employee of the grantor under common law. A leased individual is deemed to be an employee of the lessee if all of the following requirements are met: The leased individual qualifies as a common law employee of the lessee, and the lessor is contractually required to remit payroll taxes on the compensation paid to the leased individual for the services provided to the lessee. The lessor and lessee agree in writing to all of the following conditions related to the leased individual: The lessee has the exclusive right to grant stock compensation to the individual for the employee service to the lessee. The lessee has a right to hire, fire, and control the activities of the individual. (The lessor also may have that right.) The lessee has the exclusive right to determine the economic value of the services performed by the individual (including wages and the number of units and value of stock compensation granted). The individual has the ability to participate in the lessee's employee benefit plans, if any, on the same basis as other comparable employees of the lessee. The lessee agrees to and remits to the lessor funds sufficient to cover the complete compensation, including all payroll taxes, of the individual on or before a contractually agreed upon date or dates. A nonemployee director does not satisfy this definition of employee. Nevertheless, nonemployee directors acting in their role as members of a board of directors are treated as employees if those directors were elected by the employer's shareholders or appointed to a board position that will be filled by shareholder election when the existing term expires. However, that requirement applies only to awards granted to nonemployee directors for their services as directors. Awards granted to those individuals for other services shall be accounted for as awards to nonemployees.

The entity makes annual contributions to the employee stock ownership plan equal to the employee stock ownership plan's debt service less dividends received by the employee stock ownership plan. All dividends received by the employee stock ownership plan are used to pay debt service. The employee stock ownership plan shares initially were pledged as collateral for its debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to active employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The entity accounts for its employee stock ownership plan in accordance with this Subtopic. Accordingly, the debt of the employee stock ownership plan is recorded as debt and the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned employee stock ownership plan shares in the statement of financial position. As shares are released from collateral, the entity reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for EPS computations. Dividends on allocated employee stock ownership plan shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated employee stock ownership plan shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. Employee stock ownership plan compensation expense was $170,000, $195,000, and $215,000 for Years 3, 2, and 1, respectively. The employee stock ownership plan shares as of December 31 were as follows. </span></span></div><ul class=\"ul simple\" id=\"d3e17784-113931__GUID-AF6BD6A7-5761-4D73-915F-C2AD4EC90162\"><li class=\"li\" id=\"d3e17784-113931__SL6418968-113931\"><div class=\"p\"><div class=\"fig figure fignone\" id=\"d3e17784-113931__tbl-d3e18202\"><img src=\"/asc-img/GUID-100A17B8-EC8D-4CA7-BD1E-EAECB6B1DF80-low.gif\" altsource=\"GUID-100A17B8-EC8D-4CA7-BD1E-EAECB6B1DF80-low.gif\" loading=\"lazy\"><span class=\"sfragment\" id=\"sfr_CF35FE63-6E93-1014-A13F-6E4B94C84136\"><span class=\"sfragment-source\"></span></span><div class=\"figcaption\"> Year 3 Year 2 Allocated shares \"40,000 \" \"20,000 \" Shares released for allocation \"20,000 \" \"20,000 \" Unreleased shares \"40,000 \" \"60,000 \" Total employee stock ownership plan shares \"100,000 \" \"100,000 \" Fair value of unreleased shares at December 31 \" $400,000 \" \" $540,000 \" </div></div></div></li></ul></li></ul></div> </div>","snippet":"The entity would provide the following disclosures for the end of Year 3.\nThe entity sponsors a leveraged employee stock ownership plan that covers all U.S. employees who work 20 or more hours per week.

The entity matches 50 percent of employee contributions with entity common stock. The shares for this purpose are provided principally by the entity's employee stock ownership plan, supplemented as needed by newly issued shares. The entity makes annual contributions to the employee stock ownership plan equal to the employee stock ownership plan's debt service less dividends received by the employee stock ownership plan. All dividends received by the employee stock ownership plan are used to pay debt service. The employee stock ownership plan shares initially were pledged as collateral for its debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to employees who made 401(k) contributions that year, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The entity accounts for its employee stock ownership plan in accordance with this Subtopic. Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned employee stock ownership plan shares in the statement of financial position. As shares are released from collateral, the entity reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for EPS computations. Dividends on allocated employee stock ownership plan shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated employee stock ownership plan shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. </span></span></div></li><li class=\"li\" id=\"d3e18210-113931__SL6418984-113931\"><div class=\"p\"><span class=\"sfragment\" id=\"sfr_CF3650BB-6E93-1014-A13F-6E4B94C84136\"><span class=\"sfragment-source\">Compensation expense for the 401(k) match and the employee stock ownership plan was $210,000, $205,000, and $215,000 for Years 3, 2, and 1, respectively.

For leveraged ESOPs, the employer records the ESOP's outside debt as its own debt, charges shares issued to the ESOP to a contra-equity account (\"unearned ESOP shares\"), and recognizes compensation cost at the fair value of shares as they are committed to be released; for nonleveraged ESOPs, compensation cost equals the contribution called for in the period. It also prescribes dividend treatment (allocated shares to retained earnings; unallocated shares as debt reduction or compensation cost), EPS treatment, termination accounting, and disclosures.","key_points":["An employer reports shares issued or treasury shares sold to an ESOP when the transaction occurs, with a corresponding charge to unearned ESOP shares, a contra-equity account presented separately in the balance sheet (718-40-25-10; 718-40-45-2).","Debt of a leveraged ESOP owed to an outside lender (direct or indirect loan) is reported as the employer's debt with accrued interest cost, but an employer loan to its own ESOP is not reported as a note receivable/payable and generates no interest income or cost (718-40-25-9).","Compensation cost and settlement of liabilities are recognized when shares are 'committed to be released' (which may precede legal release), measured at the fair value of those shares, generally using average fair value for shares released ratably as service is rendered (718-40-25-13; 718-40-30-1; 718-40-30-2).","Unearned ESOP shares are credited at the ESOP's cost of the shares, and the difference between fair value and cost is charged or credited to shareholders' equity in the same manner as gains and losses on sales of treasury stock, generally additional paid-in capital (718-40-30-3).","Dividends on allocated shares are charged to retained earnings, while dividends on unallocated shares are not dividends for reporting purposes—they reduce debt/accrued interest if used for debt service or are compensation cost if paid to participants (718-40-25-16; 718-40-25-17).","For a nonleveraged ESOP, compensation cost equals the contribution called for in the period measured at the fair value of shares or cash contributed, and all shares held are treated as outstanding for EPS except pension reversion suspense shares (718-40-25-19; 718-40-30-5; 718-40-45-9).","For EPS, only ESOP shares committed to be released are considered outstanding; uncommitted shares (including uncommitted convertible preferred) are excluded from basic and if-converted diluted computations, and required disclosures include allocated, committed-to-be-released, and suspense share counts, compensation cost, fair value of unearned shares, and any repurchase obligation (718-40-45-3; 718-40-45-6; 718-40-50-1)."],"categories":["Stock compensation","Compensation and benefits","Earnings per share","Debt and equity"],"audience_level":"advanced","student_note":"The classic trap is timing and measurement: compensation cost is recognized when shares are *committed to be released* (not legally released) and is measured at the shares' *fair value*, while unearned ESOP shares are relieved at the ESOP's original *cost*, with the difference plugged to additional paid-in capital.
