Employee stock ownership system (esop) is an employee incentive system originated from the United States. It is a system whereby the company distributes part of the shares to employees in a certain form according to established rules, and the owner shares the ownership and future earnings with employees. In practice, there is not only a conflict of interest between the company and the employees, but also a conflict caused by the dual identity of the employees. How to resolve this contradiction and prevent the legal risks caused by the implementation of the employee shareholding system has become an urgent problem to be solved. From the perspective of practice and combining with theory, this paper takes the employee shareholding system of listed companies as the research object, focuses on the overall system construction of the employee shareholding system of listed companies, learns experience from relevant laws and regulations of employee shareholding system outside the region, and puts forward Suggestions for the construction of relevant legal system in China. The employee stock ownership system has been developed for decades in China, and so far three shareholding modes have been formed, namely: trust shareholding mode, limited partnership shareholding mode and corporate enterprise mode. The mode of trust shareholding mainly establishes a trust shareholding platform according to the provisions of the trust law and manages the employee shareholding plan in the form of trust fund. Limited partnership shareholding mode is a kind of shareholding mode according to the partnership law. It is a way to establish multiple limited partnerships in a nested way, so as to establish and manage employee shareholding plan with minimum cost. The shareholding mode of the company system requires the enterprise to manage the employee shareholding plan by establishing a joint stock limited company and using the articles of association according to the provisions of the company law. Through the analysis of the employee stock ownership system in China, it is found that there are such problems as the high proportion of senior executives, the lack of supervision of the employee stock ownership system, the imperfect exit mechanism and the obvious externalization of employee stock. In view of these problems, it is suggested that the employee stock ownership system should be supervised and managed at both central and local levels. From the central level, the "management measures of employee stock ownership system" is formulated, and the problems in the acquisition of employee stock, equity exercise and withdrawal of employee stock ownership system are regulated, and the regulatory system of employee stock ownership system is regulated from the two aspects of clarifying the regulatory subject and improving the internal supervision. It is suggested that the local government issue relevant regulations to guide the development of esop in the region.
