How Backdating Stock Options Works?
Backdating stock options is a process in which companies reward their employees by allowing them to change the issue date of stock options in order to increase profit. This was a commonly accepted practice in the corporate world until the Sarbanes-Oxley act was passed as part of Wall Street reform. While it can still be done to some extent, it is much more difficult to do it successfully. Companies often give stock options to employees as a form of employee bonus. After working for the company for a certain amount of time, employees may be entitled to stock options as part of their benefits package. An option contract gives the employee the right to get a certain number of shares at a specific price. The price that they can exercise the contract on is based on the date of the option contract. The process of backdating stock options involves changing the date of the options contract to a date in the past so as to take advantage of a lower stock price in the market. Then when the contract is granted, the employee immediately have a profit because the stock is already worth more. Before Sarbanes-Oxley was passed, companies could backdate options up to two months in the past. This allowed companies to simply find a date within the last two months in which the stock price was lower than what it is when the options were granted. After Sarbanes-Oxley, the company only has a two-day window. When stock options are granted to employees, these options have to be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since they must now be reported within two days of issue, there is not as much room for companies to pick and choose dates based on the stock price. Once an option contract is granted, the employee gets to choose whether he wants to exercise it immediately or whether he wants to hang onto it. If the employee decides not to exercise it immediately, he has the option of exercising it at a later date when the price of the stock has increased. This gives the employee some flexibility in taking his company perk.

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.
