Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
EMPLOYEE STOCK COMPENSATION | EMPLOYEE STOCK COMPENSATION On May 31, 2018, our stockholders approved the Company's 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (“2018 Omnibus Plan”). The 2018 Omnibus Plan provides that the maximum number of shares available for awards is 4,417,882. As of December 31, 2021, 3,225,908 shares were available for future awards under the 2018 Omnibus Plan. While the 2018 Omnibus Plan allows for various equity instruments, the Company has transitioned to granting restricted stock awards and restricted stock units in recent years versus issuing stock options.

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units We grant restricted stock awards and restricted stock units to certain employees, officers, and directors. The restricted stock awards and units are valued at the closing price of our stock on the measurement date. The restricted stock awards and units fully vest after a specified period (generally ranging from one to five years) of continued service from the date of grant plus, in some cases, the satisfaction of profitability and other performance metrics. The actual amounts of performance-related stock units released upon vesting is certified by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors once the pre-established profitability and other performance metrics have been achieved. We recognize an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the taxable income reported by the holders of the restricted stock, generally when vested or settled. The following table presents unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units activity for the periods indicated:

Stock Options We have issued stock options to certain employees, officers, and directors. Stock options are issued at the closing market price immediately before the grant date and generally have a three to five year vesting period and contractual terms of seven to ten years. We recognize an income tax deduction upon exercise of a stock option to the extent taxable income is recognized by the option holder. In the case of a non-qualified stock option, the option holder recognizes taxable income based on the fair market value of the shares acquired at the time of exercise less the exercise price. There have been no stock options granted since 2016.
