Equity
Within equity, it is broken down into:
-
Total Equity (formerly referred to as just Equity) in the Pave product refers to the current value of all the equity grants received by an employee. This includes the impact of stock appreciation as well as any additional grants that may have been received. This is calculated as the total number of shares for employee * current preferred share price.
-
New Hire Equity refers to the value of the first grant received by an employee at the time that it was received. There is no additional grants or stock appreciation impact. This is calculated as the number of shares in the employee’s first grant (options or common stock) * the preferred share price of the company at the time of issuance.
All equity is shown as a USD cash equivalent and a percentage of the total equity associated with a company.
Note: If you have only connected cash data from your HRIS or payroll system, then you will only be able to see cash benchmarking data. If you’ve only connected equity data from your cap table system, then you’ll only be able to see equity data.
