Rehire Pay definition
Rehire Pay means Base Pay or Performance Pay, as applicable, that is payable on or after the date an Employee returns to active employment with the Company following a 409A Separation from Service or, if later, after the end of the Deferral Period in which the Employee’s 409A Separation from Service occurred. For example, if an Employee incurs a 409A Separation from Service in April 2009 (whether on account of a leave in excess of six months or because of a termination of employment with IBM) and returns to active employment with IBM in November 2009, the Employee’s Rehire Pay would include (a) Base Pay payable on or after January 1, 2010 (i.e., the beginning of the Base Pay Deferral Period after the 409A Separation from Service), and (b) Performance Pay payable on or after April 1, 2010 (i.e., the beginning of the Performance Pay Deferral Period after the 409A Separation from Service). By contrast, if instead the Employee returned to active employment on February 1, 2010, the Employee’s Rehire Pay would include (a) Base Pay payable on or after on February 1, 2010, and (b) Performance Pay payable on or after April 1, 2010.
