Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Refers to extra activites business executives might do to get extra monies above their base salaries
French term or phrase: actions grimpantes
Here's the context:" A ces salaires, il faut rajouter les nombreuses **actions grimpantes** qu'ils ont dans l'entreprise ainsi que les stocks options qui seront revendues pour des millions des dollars."

Thanks for your help.
