This book was released on 2010-04-30 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most employers know that rewarding their best workers is good business. However, the “return” on such investment is difficult to measure, and wise employers think long and hard about two of their largest expense items – employee benefits and executive compensation. Today in the United States, under the glare of issues raised by the current financial crisis, company-sponsored benefits programs have become mere shadows of what they once were, and executive compensation has come under intense scrutiny to the point where the Treasury Department monitors it at companies receiving federal assistance. In recognition of the growing importance of employee benefits and executive compensation issues, the Center for Labor and Employment Law at New York University School of Law dedicated New York University’s 59th Annual Conference on Labor to an in-depth examination of these topics. This volume of the proceedings of the 2006 conference contains papers presented at that meeting, all here updated to reflect recent developments. It also includes contributions from other practitioners and academics with extensive knowledge and experience in this specialized field of labor and employment law.
Download or read book Pay Without Performance written by Lucian A. Bebchuk and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The company is under-performing, its share price is trailing, and the CEO gets...a multi-million-dollar raise. This story is familiar, for good reason: as this book clearly demonstrates, structural flaws in corporate governance have produced widespread distortions in executive pay. Pay without Performance presents a disconcerting portrait of managers' influence over their own pay--and of a governance system that must fundamentally change if firms are to be managed in the interest of shareholders. Lucian Bebchuk and Jesse Fried demonstrate that corporate boards have persistently failed to negotiate at arm's length with the executives they are meant to oversee. They give a richly detailed account of how pay practices--from option plans to retirement benefits--have decoupled compensation from performance and have camouflaged both the amount and performance-insensitivity of pay. Executives' unwonted influence over their compensation has hurt shareholders by increasing pay levels and, even more importantly, by leading to practices that dilute and distort managers' incentives. This book identifies basic problems with our current reliance on boards as guardians of shareholder interests. And the solution, the authors argue, is not merely to make these boards more independent of executives as recent reforms attempt to do. Rather, boards should also be made more dependent on shareholders by eliminating the arrangements that entrench directors and insulate them from their shareholders. A powerful critique of executive compensation and corporate governance, Pay without Performance points the way to restoring corporate integrity and improving corporate performance.

Download or read book Corporate Governance Executive Compensation Corporate Performance and Worker Rights in Bankruptcy written by Steven H. Kropp and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Article proposes amending the Bankruptcy Code so that when a publicly held company files for bankruptcy, its senior executives must automatically disgorge all compensation beyond 330,000 dollars annually for the previous three years. An annual salary of 330,000 dollars still places these senior executives in the top one percent of wage earners. Disgorged moneys recovered would be applied to compensate employees for losses to their 401k pension plans. These 401k plans are typically filled with company stock. This proposal is designed to compensate workers when their corporate employer files for bankruptcy, causing the 401k plan to be worthless. Bankruptcy is an appropriate triggering event because firms in bankruptcy typically lay off a substantial number of their workers. By providing this safety net, workers are less likely to face the prospect of both loss of employment and loss of retirement savings. The role of the firm is the maximize shareholder value. Executive compensation is designed to reflect firm performance. During the last two decades, however, executive compensation has increased dramatically without necessarily bearing any relationship to the company's performance. If the firm is filing for bankruptcy, then firm performance never warranted the senior executives receiving excessive compensation. Applying the Prisoner's Dilemma, a game theory exercise, to executive compensation and firm performance suggests that this proposal better aligns shareholder interests with firm performance. A severe sanction persuades executives to place corporate performance above stock manipulation for short-term gain. Theoretical justification for this proposal also can be found in the bankruptcy principles of avoidance of preferential transfers and fraudulent conveyances. The author concludes that the political environment may be ripe for reform in the areas of executive pay and workers' rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General readers have no idea why people should care about what executives are paid and why they are paid the way they are. That's the reason that The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Forbes, and other popular and practitioner publications have regular coverage on them. This book not only proposes a reason - executives need incentives in order to maximize firm value (economists call this agency theory) - it also describes the nature and design of executive compensation practices. Those incentives can take the form of benefits (salary, stock options), or prerquisites (reflecting the status of the executive within the organizational culture.
