10. Employer Share Plans

Effective May 15, 2014, CBIZ shareholders approved a new plan, the CBIZ, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan is in addition to the 2002 Amended and Restated CBIZ, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (“2002 Plan”), pursuant to which CBIZ has granted various stock-based awards through the year ended December 31, 2014. The terms and vesting schedules for stock-based awards vary by type and date of grant.

Beginning in 2015, the 2014 Plan replaces and, for future grants, supersedes the 2002 Plan. The operating terms of the 2014 Plan are substantially similar to those of the 2002 Plan. Under the 2014 Plan, which expires in 2024, a maximum of 9.6 million stock options, shares of restricted stock or other stock-based compensation awards may be granted. Shares subject to award under the 2014 Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares of CBIZ common stock or treasury shares. Compensation expense for stock-based awards recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in thousands):
