Share-Based Compensation | 9. Share-Based Compensation Our share-based compensation consists of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSU”), and performance stock units (“PSU”). We also offer an employee stock purchase plan. Under the 2013 Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, as amended ("2013 SIP") and Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated from time to time, the “2018 EIP”), we have shares reserved for issuance of common stock to eligible employees and our Board of Directors. The 2018 EIP serves as a successor to the 2013 SIP as we ceased granting awards under the 2013 SIP as of April 24, 2018, and we do not intend to grant any additional awards under the 2013 SIP. Most of our equity awards under the 2018 EIP vest either annually or quarterly on a pro rata basis, generally over a one -, three -, four -, or five-year period or on a specific date if certain performance criteria are satisfied and certain equity values are attained. In addition, upon termination of service, all vested awards must be exercised generally within 90 days after termination, or these awards will be forfeited. The equity awards have a 10 -year contractual term, and the options have an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2023 , there were 778,055 stock options and RSUs outstanding under the 2013 SIP and there were 12,302,120 stock options, RSUs, and PSUs outstanding and 11,747,168 shares available for future grants of equity awards under the 2018 EIP. Total share-based compensation expense was $ 41.5 million and $ 38.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and $ 81.7 million and $ 74.3 million for six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
