I have an S Corp. The ONLY income is paid with shares of a publicly traded stock (RSUs that vest upon grant). I prefer not to sell the shares. Can I simply transfer the shares as payment of wages / commission and/or a distribution of profit?

Yes. You need to make sure you pay yourself a "reasonable wage" while taking the rest; or some of your other income as distributions of profit.
