JLL will grant you 50% of your equity award in Performance Stock Units (‘PSUs’) and 50% of your equity award in Restricted Stock Units (‘RSUs’), subject to JLL Board of Director approval. The award will be delivered in 2021 provided you remain employed on the grant date.

Welcome Bonus
We also will pay you a sign-on bonus of £330,000 and will be subject to the usual deductions for income tax and National Insurance contributions paid as follows:
• £165,000 to be paid in your first pay after hire
• £165,000 to be paid in next pay after 1st anniversary


If you leave JLL voluntarily or are terminated for Cause within one year of payment of the Welcome Bonus, you agree to repay the pro-rated amount of the first installment paid to you. You will not be paid any part of the second installment if you leave JLL before the second installment is due to be paid. Cause shall mean the sustained underperformance of your duties, any act or omission by you that constitutes misconduct, a material violation of any JLL policy or procedure, or, as allowed by law, a violation of any law, as determined in JLL’s sole discretion. If the funds available in any final salary payment are insufficient to repay the amount you will be required to pay a net sum based on your tax code and statutory requirements at the time of repayment. The difference can be paid by cheque or cash before your leave date. You and the Company agree that the repayment by you of the Welcome Bonus in these circumstances is a genuine pre-estimate of loss suffered by the Company and is not a penalty.
