The popularity of schemes whereby employees' benefits are linked to the growth of the company has been increasing. Despite the various measures taken to encourage the establishment of employees' share schemes, the laws and regulations governing their operation remain extremely complex. This new book provides those executives responsible for the formulation, implementation and running of these schemes with the necessary practical advice for selecting the appropriate scheme, structuring it for the company and running it. Advice is also given on the problems which may be encountered. It is designed not for specialist practitioners, but company secretaries, directors, proprietors of private companies, solicitors, accountants, financial and management advisers who have ther responsibility for the selection, formation and operation of these schemes.
