If you want to split hairs that’s fine - I’m an employee, they give me FREE shares which subsequently ATTRACT DIVIDENDS.....which, if you’re smart, you reinvest into more shares and so it goes on....... A lot of EZY employees have made a significant amount of money over the last 10 years or so doing this. So, I think it’s fair to say that EZY employees do get shares and dividends purely by dint of being and employee. QED.
You are correct that it’s 5 years for Performance Shares but DIVIDEND SHARES which are issued based on your holding can be sold after 3 years tax free.
The fact is EZY employees have recieved shares and dividends FOR FREE because they work for the airline.
I am fully aware of how it works.
You get dividends if you have shares only not because you are an employee.
