I'm planning to resign from my role at Amazon, and have a question regarding RSUs: Will i receive my RSUs if they vest in the notice period after i submit my resignation? My notice period in the UK legally is 1 month what if they decided to terminate my contract after 1 week will i still get the if they vest in 2 weeks period? #amazon
Your RSUs will vest until the last day you’re employed, this includes you being put on gardening leave. They can’t just terminate your contract after a week without reason but should that happen, your shares won’t vest. They would be looking at a legal case if they did this just to save on some shares.
Technically you have to be employed to get the vested RSU. But why to take the chance? Resign after it gets vested and talk to the new employer to delay the joining date.
