Pause a vesting schedule

Company admins now have the option to pause vesting for option holders, such as in cases where team members are on personal sabbaticals or extended leaves.

Pausing a vesting schedule automatically modifies the vesting events to accommodate the pause duration.
E.g. for a 12-month vesting period starting from Jan 1, 2024—if the employee takes a 30-day leave in March—then their vesting period now moves forward from Jan 1, 2025 to Jan 31, 2025.

How does it work?

  • On the EquityList platform, under ‘Equity Awards’ > ‘Grants’, select the relevant grant.
  • Scroll down to the ‘Vesting Schedule’ section. You’ll see a ‘Pause Vesting’ option on the right.
  • On clicking the ‘Pause Vesting’ button, you’ll be notified to select the start and end dates.
  • Upon pausing a schedule, the grant page will refresh and you will see a revised vesting schedule with updated dates.
