EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION PLANS [Abstract] |
EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION PLANS | (19)EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION PLANS Employee Benefit Plan The Company currently has a 401(k) profit-sharing plan that allows participation by U.S. employees who have completed six months of service, as defined, and are 21 years of age or older. Participants may defer up to 75% of their gross pay, up to a maximum limit determined by U.S. federal law. Participants are also eligible for a matching contribution. The Company may from time to time, at its discretion, make a “matching contribution” based on the amount and rate of the elective deferrals. The Company determines how much, if any, it will contribute for each dollar of elective deferrals. Participants vest in matching contributions over a three-year period. Company matching contributions to the 401(k) plan(s) totaled $12.2 million, $10.8 million and $4.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Equity Compensation Plans In February 2020, the Company adopted the TTEC Holdings, Inc., 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which permits awards of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, shares of restricted common stock, performance stock units and restricted stock units. The 2020 Plan will also provide for annual equity-based compensation grants to members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Options granted to employees under the 2020 Plan generally vest over three to five years and have a contractual life of ten years. Options issued to Directors vest over one year and have a contractual life of ten years. At the 2020 Annual Stockholder Meeting, the Company received shareholder approval for the 2020 Plan, including 4.0 million shares of common stock to be reserved for issuance under the Plan. The following table presents the total equity-based compensation expense (stock options and RSUs) for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

​ Restricted Stock Units 2020, 2021 and 2022 RSU Awards: The Company granted RSUs in 2020, 2021 and 2022 to new and existing employees that vest over four or five years. The Company also granted RSUs in 2020, 2021 and 2022 to members of the Board of Directors that vest over one year. Summary of RSUs: Settlement of the RSUs shall be made in shares of the Company’s common stock by delivery of one share of common stock for each RSU then being settled. The Company calculates the fair value for RSUs based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and records compensation expense over the vesting period using a straight-line method. The Company factors an estimated forfeiture rate in calculating compensation expense on RSUs and adjusts for actual forfeitures upon the vesting of each tranche of RSUs. The Company also factors in the present value of the estimated dividend payments that will have accrued as these RSUs are vesting. The weighted average grant-date fair value of RSUs, including performance-based RSUs, granted during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $65.36, $96.47, and $44.70, respectively. The total intrinsic value and fair value of RSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $18.4 million, $14.2 million, and $11.5 million, respectively. Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Grants During 2019, the Company awarded performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) that were subject to service and performance vesting conditions. If defined minimum targets were met, the annual value of the PRSUs issued would be between $0.4 million and $1.4 million and vest immediately. If the defined minimum targets were not met, then no shares would be issued. The award amounts were based on the Company’s annual adjusted operating income for the fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021. Each fiscal year’s adjusted operating income determined the award amount. The Company recognized compensation expense related to the 2019 PRSUs of $1.1 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During 2020, the Company awarded PRSUs that are subject to service and performance vesting conditions. If defined minimum targets are met, the annual value of the PRSUs issued will be between $0.2 million and $2.0 million and vest immediately. If the defined minimum targets are not met, then no shares will be issued. The number of shares awarded are based on the Company’s annual revenue and adjusted operating income for the fiscal years 2021 and 2022. Each fiscal year’s revenue and adjusted operating income will determine the award amount. The Company recognized compensation expense related to the 2020 PRSUs of $1.2 million and $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During 2021, the Company awarded PRSUs that are subject to service and performance vesting conditions. If defined minimum targets are met, the annual value of the PRSUs issued will be between $1.2 million and $4.9 million and vest immediately in 2024. If the defined minimum targets are not met, then no shares will be issued. The number of shares that will be awarded will be based on the Company's annual revenue and adjusted operating income for the fiscal year 2023. Expense for these awards will begin at the start of the requisite service period, beginning January 1, 2023. During 2022, the Company made awards of two different PRSU programs that are subject to service and performance vesting conditions: ordinary course annual PRSUs and one-time stretch financial goals PRSUs. For the ordinary course annual PRSUs, if defined minimum targets are met, the annual value of the PRSUs issued will be between $0.9 million and $3.5 million and vest immediately in March 2025. If the defined minimum targets are not met, then no shares will be issued. The number of shares that will be awarded will be based on the Company’s annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2024. For the one-time stretch financial goals PRSUs, if defined minimum targets at TTEC Engage and TTEC Digital business segments’ levels are met, the number of shares of PRSUs issued will be between 0.0 million shares and 0.5 million shares and will vest immediately in March 2026. If the defined minimum targets are not met, then no shares will be issued. The number of shares to be awarded will be based on the TTEC Engage and TTEC Digital business segments’ annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2025. Expense for these awards will begin at the start of the requisite service periods, beginning January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025, respectively. A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested RSUs and PRSUs and activity for the year ended December 31, 2022 is as follows: ​
