When are RSUs subject to gains tax?


I am pretty new to having RSUs and have been trying to understand how short vs long term gains tax work. The way I understand it, as soon as the stocks vest it is subject to income tax since it's part of my income.
Lets say I decide to sell the stocks immediately…am I subject to short term gains tax if the price increase between the time I am given the stock and vesting. Or does the gains tax only consider gains made after vesting?
