An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a retirement benefit that gives employees an ownership stake in the company. At Synergy, the ESOP means eligible employees own 100% of the company collectively and share in its long-term success.

Eligibility is based on plan requirements such as length of service and hours worked. Once eligible, participation is automatic — there’s no cost to enroll.

No. Employees do not purchase shares or invest their own money. Shares are allocated to eligible employees as part of the ESOP benefit.

As the company grows and performs well, the value of the ESOP increases. This creates a long-term retirement benefit tied to the success you help create through your work.

Yes. The ESOP is a separate benefit that complements your salary, bonuses, and other benefits like health insurance and PTO.

If you leave Synergy, your vested ESOP balance is paid out according to the plan’s distribution rules and timeline.

Yes — in a positive way. Employee ownership reinforces a culture of accountability, transparency, collaboration, and shared success. Everyone has a stake in doing great work.

Yes. Employee-owners receive regular updates on the ESOP, including account statements and education to help them understand how the plan works.
