Labour Share Dividends

Labour Share Dividends' are dividends paid to Labour Shareholders when the organisation is in Surplus. The total amount (the Labour Share) is calculated by multiplying Surplus by the Labour Share Fraction. The Labour Share is then divided by the number of Labour Shares issued to calculate the dividend on each share.

Each member receives this amount multiplied by the number of shares they have been issued using the formula:

[Labour Share] x (Member's Labour Shareholding / All Issued Labour Shares)

For example, if the Labour Share is £11,000, and a member has 10 Labour Shares of 180 in issue, their share would be:

11,000 x (10/180) = £611.11
