Yes, a place I'm familiar with gives you a dollar amount. At RSU distribution time (i.e. when you actually receive them, not at offer-time), you will receive that dollar amount of shares, regardless of each share's value. TBH I'm not sure why they structure it this way (maybe fewer taxes than payroll? or looks better on a balance sheet, somehow?).

One possible reason is that they can pretend it’s not costing them anything when they report “adjusted” earnings.
