funds Explanation: I hate to disagree with other answerers but..... This is what it really means here - we're talking about the money that belongs to the employees as part of profit sharing schemes. It has nothing to do with rights issues. Only in the sense of a right to a share of the money does it mean right. This link in French gives a good account of profit sharing schemes. http://www.pratique.fr/vieprat/emploi/salaire/daf3205.htm This link in English describing such schemes internationally uses the word fund/funds http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/3/37/2409883.pdf |
