SEC Rule on CEO Pay Helps Investors Judge Compensation Practices That Affect Performance
Corporations will no longer be able to hide how much CEOs are paid compared to the workers who make those companies run, under a rule proposed today by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The rule requires companies to disclose the ratio of total compensation between chief executive officers and the median pay of employees.
That new rule does far more than help point out the historic and growing massive gap between CEO and worker pay. It is an important tool for investors to judge a companyās internal compensation structure, says AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka .
