Creating a remuneration package to satisfy all parties
Determining an appropriate remuneration package for executive and non-executive directors presents several challenges. Legal, tax and social security considerations must be taken into account for the company, while the package still has to be competitive in the market to attract the best candidates. Management companies, long-term incentive plans, the retrocession of directors fees and international tax treatment are common issues facing organisations when deciding on an executive’s remuneration.
From a broader perspective, many shareholders and members of the community are questioning the levels of executive pay. There’s ongoing pressure to demonstrate sustainable links between pay and performance through long-term equity. Combine all these elements with an increase in regulatory interventions and the discussion quickly becomes complicated.
