Assuming their inclusion is dilutive and not anti-dilutive, outstanding stock options, exercisable or not, are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share ("EPS").
Stock options are included in the calculation of diluted EPS based on the treasury-stock method, meaning that the proceeds from the assumed exercise of the options are assumed to be used to purchase back common shares that have been issued, at the average market price during the period for which the financial statements are presented. Under the treasury-stock method, options will have a dilutive effect only when the average market price of the common stock during the respective period exceeds the exercise price of the options (they are "in the money").

Are binary options real?
Binary options are "synthetic" options or digital options. These options are real in terms of validity of transaction, meaning that if you are in the money you will be paid your earnings for sure, and if you are out of the money, you will certainly lose some of your investment. The reason they are called synthetic is that you don't actually have to buy / sell the asset at the end of the trade, you just collect your earnings or pay your losses.
What are the differences between the numerator and the denominator in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations?
Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings for a reporting period that are available to each share of common stock outstanding during that reporting period, and to each share that would have been outstanding, assuming that common shares had been issued for all dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. An entity having more than common stock in its capital structure must present both basic and diluted earnings per share information for income from continuing operations and for net income. This information should appear on the face of the income statement.The diluted earnings per share figure is only of importance when it diverges significantly from basic earnings per share. If so, it indicates that a company has issued a large number of warrants, options, or other convertible instruments that have the potential to sharply increase the number of common shares outstanding. If this is the case, investigate the strike prices at which the holders of the convertible instruments can buy common stock; the likelihood of conversion is quite high if the current market price is at or above the strike price. However, if the current market price is well below the strike price, there is no profit in buying common stock, in which case no one will buy stock, and the diluted earnings per share figure can be safely ignored.The calculation of diluted earnings per share goes beyond the calculation of basic earnings per share to also include the effects of all dilutive potential common shares. As a result, you increase the number of shares outstanding by the weighted average number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common stock had been converted to common stock. This dilutive change may also impact the profit or loss in the numerator of the earnings per share calculation. You calculate diluted earnings per share as follows:Profit or loss attributable to common equity holders of the parent entity + Convertible preferred dividends + After-tax interest on convertible debtWeighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus all dilutive potential common stockThis calculation is further split into the profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to the parent entity, and total profit or loss attributable to the parent entity.

Can you legally be considered an employee if you receive no compensation at all but instead are given only an option to buy stock at sometime in the future IF you are still employed?
Stock options are considered compensation, and it's completely legal to pay certain employees (executives, mostly) only in stock options. The curious thing is the part about your options being only exercisable if you're still employed. Once the company gives you options, it's not legal for them to cancel them upon your termination.
