Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.

continued employment financial

"6.25% vesting each three months thereafter, subject to continued employment"

Continued employment means that an individual remains in their current job without interruption. For investors, it signals stability and ongoing work that can affect company performance and future prospects. Like a steady heartbeat for a business, sustained employment helps ensure consistent operations and financial health.
