ESOP
Eligible employees can participate in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) retroactively to the first day of the plan
year (January 1) or July 1 during the plan year in which you have competed one (1) year of service depending on when
you obtained one (1) year of service. You must be 18 to be eligible. Employees who are leased or covered by a collective
bargaining agreement are not eligible to participate.
This employee benefit plan is designed to provide Participants with an opportunity to accumulate capital for their retirement
needs. ECS set up a trust fund in which ECS contributes cash for the ESOP to purchase stock. The ESOP can also borrow
money to purchase stock. Shares in the trust are allocated to individual employee accounts. ESOPs have a significant
impact on overall retirement savings, which is significant because only a third of working adults feel as they have adequately
saved for retirement. ESOP benefits extend beyond the financial benefits. Studies show that shared capitalism improves
the employee’s well-being, leads to greater job security and retention, and increases trust in the firm and management.
Please refer to the ESOP FAQs and Summary Plan Description for other general questions.
