Summary

Professor Joseph Grundfest is quoted in this piece discussing news that the SEC is working on how a boss’s pay should be reported compared with average
worker’s. 

Finance chiefs at public companies are looking for clarification from the Securities and Exchange Commission as they prepare to comply with coming regulations on how they must disclose the boss’s pay compared to a typical worker.

The SEC earlier this month accepted public comments on a proposed rule that soon could force thousands of companies to disclose annually the ratio of CEO-to-typical worker pay.

The SEC is “going to have to provide some degree of guidance” to clarify which employees that companies will have to include when they crunch the numbers, said Joseph Grundfest, a Stanford law professor and former SEC commissioner.”
