Time For A Cap On CEO Pay?
The Economist recently reported that the UK Government has proposed four measures that have made publicly-held companies see red. First, remuneration committees set up by companies will be required to explicitly keep worker's salaries in mind while finalising salaries of top executives. Second, companies will have to create a position for a Director representing workers' interests or set up an advisory council staffed with workers. Third, companies will be required to regularly publish the ratio of the compensation of top executives to that of the average workers. Finally, if more than twenty percent of the shareholders oppose any resolution aimed at fixing the salary of the top executive, say during an Annual General Meeting, the concerned company's name will be entered in a public register so that it can be 'named and shamed.'
