AMSTERDAM, July 20 (Reuters) - ‌ASML, ​the ​largest maker of equipment used to manufacture computer chips, intends ‌to offer employees a bonus worth €20,000 ($22,838.00) ⁠if they remain with the company between 2027 ‌and 2030.

The company ‌confirmed the plan, first reported in Eindhovens Dagblad, on Monday in an emailed ​statement.

ASML said terms of the conditional stock grant from January 1, ⁠2027 are still being finalized, but it would be ​offered to "all eligible employees."

The move is the latest among big semiconductor ​industry firms including Samsung ‌Electronics, TSMC and SK Hynix, to offer workers extra compensation ⁠at a time when earnings are strong but skilled labor is short.

ASML, which ⁠is Europe's most valuable company by stock market ​capitalization, this month reported net income of €2.92 billion and said its flagship line of circuitry-printing ‌lithography tools is nearly sold out through 2027.

ASML employs 44,500 ‌workers globally, with more than half ⁠in the Netherlands ‌and around ​8,500 in the U.S.
