Do Employees Profit from Profit Sharing? Evidence from Canadian Panel Data
Using panel data from a large sample of Canadian establishments, this paper examines whether there is any link between adoption of an employee profit sharing plan and subsequent employee earnings. Overall, growth in employee earnings during the five-year period subsequent to adoption of profit sharing was significantly higher in establishments that had adopted profit sharing, compared to those establishments that had not done so. Employees in establishments that paid high wages prior to profit sharing adoption appeared to benefit more than employees in other establishments, although employees in other establishments did eventually benefit from profit sharing.
