At my employer we purchase the employee stock in 6 month windows. Payroll withholding during the 6 month cycle, shares are purchased and delivered on the day following the end of the 6 month cycle. We can sell them *immediately* when they're issued. It's typically an easy 15-20% profit due to the discount rate.
