Wanted: Chief executive for health-care startup. Must be able to reinvent an industry, reduce spiraling costs and improve care for one million people -- and possibly the entire nation.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will review a dispute between Express Scripts Holding Co. and New York State's comptroller over the effort to force the prescription-benefits manager to increase cyber-risk disclosures.
The anticipated disclosures will provide a first-ever glimpse into how thousands of U.S. companies compensate their workers, plus a more accurate sense than ever before of the CEO-to-worker pay gap.
Under current law, businesses can write off as much as $1 million in compensation expenses for chief executive officers and four other top-paid bosses, plus any amount beyond that if its tied to performance targets.
Investors for Opioid Accountability plans to file shareholder proposals on board oversight of business risks at 10 manufacturers and distributors to compel them to do more to limit the risks of the addictive products and protect shareholders against losses.
As a candidate, Trump said he would scrap Dodd-Frank, Congresss attempt to legislate new rules that would prevent a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis.
Unused paid time off? Many American CEOs don't use their vacation benefits--and they create a workplace culture where employees are afraid to use their PTO or paid leave.
