Microsoft hikes pay

LOS ANGELES – Microsoft Corp. on Thursday announced all of the Redmond, Wash.-based company’s nearly 90,000 employees worldwide will see more cash upfront as compensation is shifted away from stock awards. As well, about 80 percent of workers will now receive 100 percent of their bonus and stock awards, up from about half of employees previously. Senior leaders will still have a large part of their compensation tied to shares.
