Every year I get shares from my company. The vesting period is typically longer. For me it took 7 years to be fully vested. But I was accumulating every year. When I leave the company, the company will pay out my shares and I can tell them where to put the funds. But the higher base salary I have, the more shares I get. Also the people retiring or leaving the company, the shares get bought back by the company and redistribute to the employees. At least that's how it works at the ESOP I work at. Kinda a simplistic view of it.

When someone is hired, they don't get shares. They are enrolled into the ESOP program. Then after some time, they will eventually start accruing shares on a regular basis.
