The stock option program is completely over. Depending which month he was hired he might not get profit sharing this year. Profit sharing is deposited into your account in September of the year after it was earned. I.E. 2007 profit sharing is deposited in September 2008. It is about 5% of your 2007 gross. Kind of meager this year.
