I think it really depends on your agreement with your employees, more than the risk. Do they feel like they are being treated fairly?

For me personally, I want my employees to feel vested in the company. They are helping to build it, they are helping to mold it and shape it into something that will hopefully be very great. I want them to have equity because it gives them responsibility. (We don't have any employees at the moment, so it's easy for me to say this now).

Most importantly, I want the employee to feel like they are in an arrangement that they are comfortable with. If they are doing it as just a job, working exactly 40 hours per week, then a salary without equity makes sense.
