Severance Agreement
California
How to draft a severance agreement?
I recently accepted a severance agreement from my employer in order to leave my job. I would like to know how to draft a severance agreement to ensure that all of my rights and entitlements are included and that the agreement is legally sound. I want to make sure that I am fully aware of the terms and conditions of the agreement before I sign it.
Gagandeep K.
Typically, your employer drafts a severance agreement for employee's review and acceptance, and the employee may negotiate the severance agreement. A severance agreement generally contains severance pay, post-employment benefits (e.g., healthcare or 401K), release of certain claims/liability, non-compete, non-disclosure/confidentiality, return of company property, and other provisions. An employee should review the severance agreement carefully to ensure the scope of each provision and the limitations placed on the employee are valid, as this is a legal document and it may impact future employment opportunities. You may want to have an attorney review the severance agreement before signing it to make sure it complies with legal requirements and protects your rights as an employee.

Stock Option Agreement
California
Stock option agreement and early exercise provisions?
I recently accepted a job offer from a company that includes stock options. I have been provided with a Stock Option Agreement, but I am unsure of the early exercise provisions and how they may affect my future rights as an employee. I am looking for guidance on the legal implications of early exercising my stock options.
Paul S.
It's very important to follow the process for exercising the options, to the letter. These are described in the stock option agreement. I've had someone reach out in the past, asking why their never got their stock options. When I asked how he exercised them, he said he sent a message over Slack, rather than following the proper process. If you aren't sure what to do, then you should have a lawyer go through the documents with you.

Employee Stock Option Agreement
Washington
Can you explain the potential tax implications of exercising employee stock options under an Employee Stock Options Agreement?
I recently received an Employee Stock Options Agreement from my employer, and I am considering exercising some of the options. However, I am unsure about the potential tax implications that may arise from exercising these options. I have heard that there could be tax consequences at both the federal and state levels, and I want to understand the specific tax obligations I may have if I decide to exercise the options and sell the underlying stock.
Merry K.
Exercising employee stock options (ESOs) has significant tax implications at the federal and possibly, but not usually, at the Washington State level. Here’s a breakdown to help you understand the potential obligations: Federal Tax Implications Types of Stock Options: Incentive Stock Options (ISOs): Exercising ISOs does not trigger regular federal income tax unless you sell the stock. If you sell the stock within one year of exercise or two years of grant, the gain is treated as a short-term capital gain (taxed as ordinary income). If sold after one year from exercise and two years from grant, the gain is taxed as a long-term capital gain, which typically has a lower rate. Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT): The difference between the stock's fair market value (FMV) at exercise and the exercise price is considered for AMT, potentially creating additional tax obligations. Non-Qualified Stock Options (NSOs): Exercising NSOs creates ordinary income equal to the difference between the FMV of the stock at exercise and the exercise price. This income is subject to withholding for federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare taxes. Any subsequent sale of the stock results in capital gains or losses. Selling the Stock: Capital Gains Tax: The gain (or loss) is the difference between the sale price and the stock's FMV at the time of exercise. This is subject to short-term or long-term capital gains rates depending on the holding period. State Tax Implications (Washington State) No State Income Tax: Washington does not impose a personal income tax. This means there are no state-level income tax obligations on the income from exercising stock options or the subsequent sale of stock. Capital Gains Excise Tax (if applicable): Washington has a 7% excise tax on long-term capital gains exceeding $250,000 (as of 2022) for individuals. However, this applies to gains from specific types of assets, primarily real estate and certain investments. Proceeds from the sale of stock may be subject to this excise tax if your total long-term capital gains exceed the threshold and are not exempt. Other Considerations Timing of Exercise and Sale: The timing can significantly affect your tax liabilities, especially in regard to capital gains classification and potential AMT exposure for ISOs. Employer Reporting: Your employer will provide a Form W-2 for NSO exercises (showing ordinary income) and possibly other tax documentation (e.g., Form 3921 for ISOs). Consult a Tax Professional: Given the complexity of ESO taxation and potential exposure to AMT or excise taxes, consulting a tax advisor is highly recommended. They can help you strategize to minimize taxes based on your overall financial situation.
