Well to continue the series on defining salary structure, i am making effort to explain to all the newbies about the salaries and how they are structured. This is as you can make out the last part in series, you can always ask me if you can't see something here that you need defined. You can also read the Part 1 and Part 2 on this blog.
Employee Stock Options - These are basically designed for retaining employees in the company and are commonly known as ESOP. The company gives you either free shares or gives you an option to buy shares at a discounted price if the employee decides to stay with the company for a fixed period. And of course if you hold the shares for more than a year, no capital gains tax is applicable to you.
Bonus - It is a part of your CTC, which is usually given once a year in lumpsum based on your and the companies overall performance. It is taxable as a part of the salary. In some companies this amount is also variable depending on your performance and your meeting your Key Result Areas.
Gratuity - It is the Lump sum amount paid by the company, when you either retire or resign from the company. Of course for it to be paid you need to have worked in the company for atleast 4-5 years. Gratuity can be calculated by
Gratuity = Last drawn salary x 15/26 x No. of years of service
Well that's about it, as far as i can think of and of course you are free to write to me about anything else you came across and i will try to define it also.
