Does anyone know how to properly enter company issued restircted stock which vests over 4 years? They act similar as employee stock options in their vesting schedule, but are worth the value of the stock, not a strike price differential. Would you enter them as options with a strike price of zero?
I'm going to work from the assumptions that A) YOU haven't actually investing anything in this grant, and B) the grant was recently made.
At this point, you've got a promise ... nothing more. And that promise is, presumably, based upon your future actions (staying with the company).
SO, I'd create 4 investment reminder transactions (1 for the completion of each annual vesting periond). And when the reminder comes due, record a ShrsIn transaction reflecting the shares you've "earned".
You can probably record the reminders in any available investment account (i.e., your primary account), but you probably want to set up a separate Investment account for the ShrsIn transactions, so that -- when the occur -- the don't mess up the balance of any other account.
