Which compensation is generally paid currently?
Management Compensation Plans: Policies and procedures for compensating managers. Compensation can be paid currently (usually an annual amount paid monthly, twice a month, or weekly) or deferred to future years. Salary and benefits are typically awarded currently; bonuses are either paid currently or deferred, though a wide variety of plans are observed in practice. NOTE*: Stock options would not be an example of a perk that firms typically provide to employees to enhance motivation.
