Selling some shares at vesting to fund payroll withholding.
Sell-to-cover is a common mechanism where a broker sells some shares at vesting and uses the proceeds to fund PAYE, USC, and PRSI withholding. The number of shares you keep is reduced, but it can reduce the need for cash out-of-pocket. Exact handling depends on employer and broker setup.
