J2 Global offers a retirement fund, pension plan, and stock options to make sure staff members feel appreciated. Problems arose for J2 Global in its efforts to serve employees in this context when the Stock Plan Administrator unexpectedly departed the organization. The company needed to fill this critical role with the right person, right away. With this professional position vacant, there was no one to provide expert advice and proactive strategies. J2 Global employees did not have a reliable Stock Plan Administrative point person to discuss pivotal financial matters. Employees are not the only parties who need to be made aware of alternative payment strategies. The Stock Plan Administrator team must also keep the CEO and executive team aware of any recommendations based on critical matters of standard accounting practices and regulatory compliance. J2 Global needed a highly specialized Stock Plan Administrator to:- Administer company stock plans
- Provide employees with vesting schedules
- Prepare stock option and investment packages for new hires
- Advise employees on their transaction options
- Maintain and update stock databases
- Perform analysis and prepare reports
