If they did anything different, it would have to be accounted for as current compensation for the employee and current expense for the company. Oh I'm sure you are right - I was just being sarcastic about accounting gimmicks these days. In the spirit of today's accounting standards, they'd probably just write such a thing off as a 'one time' charge.
