Part of me wonders if that's one way to give bonuses to employees while avoiding a tax penalty. Most companies give employees stock via various mechanisms so you end up throwing money away by avoiding it.

The percentage of a companies stock that is owned by employees is rarely big enough to make this in anyway close to efficient.

Yes, but stock ownership isn't even and so it'll again primarily go to the CEO/etc (while reducing their tax impact). The employees earning minimum wage, and who likely don't hold any stock, won't see any of it.
