Opening Doors for Gig Workers to Receive Stock Compensation: SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, SEC Commissioner Elad L. Roisman, Nov. 24, 2020

Date 24/11/2020

Today the Commission voted to propose rules that, on a trial basis, would allow public and private companies to offer equity compensation to their gig workers. Taking a cue from the flexibility that the gig economy provides to its platform workers, the proposal demonstrates the Commission’s willingness to open the door to opportunities for gig workers to participate in the growth of the companies that sign their checks. As our economy and work arrangements evolve, we must be willing to experiment with concomitant changes to our regulations.

Joint Statement On The Proposal To Facilitate Non-Cash Compensation For Certain Gig Workers: SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, SEC Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw, Nov. 24, 2020

Date 24/11/2020

A broad swath of companies in the U.S. now rely on workers who are not treated as traditional employees. Indeed, depending on how you define the term, alternative or contingent workers may make up as much as 40 percent of the workforce. Today the Commission singles out one narrowly-defined subset of companies who depend on these workers—companies that provide services through internet platforms—and proposes to create a new exemption from traditional registration requirements just for them. The proposed exemption would expressly permit these internet platform companies, and only these internet platform companies, to pay a portion of compensation to alternative workers with equity in the company rather than cash. Whatever the potential merits of equity compensation for alternative workers, the proposal does not establish a basis for selectively conferring a benefit on this particular business model. Consequently, we cannot support it.
