This document discusses how corporations determine the size of annual equity awards without considering past stock price performance, leading to a disconnect between long-term incentive pay and performance ("equity award amnesia"). It proposes a "dynamic award methodology" that factors in historical stock price changes when setting award sizes. Doing so would improve various compensation metrics and better align executive pay with shareholder experience by providing larger awards after price increases and smaller awards after decreases. The document argues this approach makes more sense given equity awards are intended to reward long-term performance and shareholder interests.
A company offer a competitive compensation arrangement in order to attract, retain, and motivate a qualified CEO to manage the organization.
This Quick Guide examines the elements of executive compensation and the process by which the compensation committee establishes pay packages.
It examines the questions:
• What is the purpose of a compensation program?
• How do boards structure pay?
• What is the difference between expected, earned, and realized pay?
• How much do CEOs make?
• Are CEOs paid the “right” amount?

Take this opportunity to learn about identifying and comparing to your competitors, building commitment and employee engagement and developing a total strategy that supports your organization’s mission and strategic plan.
Our webinar is structured to provide not only education but also useful strategies for addressing the many pressures on executive compensation, wages and salaries. Nonprofits are being scrutinized by the IRS, and executive compensation is a staple of all audits. Nonprofit managers and trustees must prepare for public, media, Form 990, IRS and State scrutiny. Wage and salary programs face a difficult economy as they struggle to attract and retain the best talent with scarce dollars.
CEO Pay: A Middle Market Perspective, presented to the Minneapolis-St. Paul NASPP Chapter on March 27, 2014.
Executive compensation has continued to evolve in recent years. Companies are increasingly required to balance the need for competitive pay with the need to respond to increased scrutiny, particularly with regard to the relationship between pay and performance.
To provide some insight and perspective, Buck Consultants has recently completed a study of executive compensation practices and trends in the middle market. In this study, Buck analyzed total direct compensation for Chief Executive Officers in companies listed on the S&P 400 MidCap Index.
In this presentation, we will discuss our findings with regard to both current practices and trends for CEO pay in these Mid-Cap companies. Because long-term incentives typically comprised the largest portion of executive compensation, our study focused on prevalence, mix, usage and design of equity vehicles. Finally, we will look at governance issues, including corporate governance concerns and the degree of alignment between pay and performance.
Discusses Major Compensation Issues regarding Executive Compensation. Provides Justification for Unreasonable Executive Compensation and Outlines measures for Executive Accountability

Executive Compensation at Financial InstitutionsDavid Stone
Executive compensation at U.S. companies has become dramatically disproportionate relative to the average workers at those companies over the past 25 years. Now, the current global financial crisis is putting a harsh spotlight on executive compensation at financial institutions in particular.
