Executive compensation
The chief executive officer (CEO) of a corporation and his or her executive team are responsible for the management of the business and its continued operating and financial success. The CEO and executive team are almost always highly compensated and the relative total compensation has mushroomed over time. Most of the compensation now is designed to be performance-based, but leading to charges that executives have incentives to manipulate corporate earnings and stock price in the short-term for their own self interests. The compensation at some companies became so egregious (Enron and other tech-bubble failures or Citigroup and other banks during the subprime meltdown) that compensation again became a major public policy issue subject to federal regulation. (Popular outrage and calls for government action against well-paid CEOs has been common at least since the 1930s.)

SEC's Pay Ratio Regulation Reveals What We Already Knew
It has been nearly four years since the Securities and Exchange Commission finalized its rule mandating that companies annually publish the ratio of CEO compensation to the salary of the company's median employee. They've previously argued that this provision is one of the costliest regulations required by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, writing in these pages that \"mandating the regular publication of a crude gauge of relative CEO compensation is a costly exercise that fixes precisely nothing\". To calculate the total compensation of every employee in a company--domestically and internationally--likely would require the use of significant resources and cost firms millions of dollars.

Regulating executive salaries and reducing pay disparities: Is pay disclosure the answer?
In 2017 it was reported that Ahmed Fahour, CEO of Australia Post - a publicly owned company - earned AUD$10.8 million in a single year. In 2015, he was paid 119 times the annual salary of the average Australia Post employee ($47,000 per annum). Fahour presided over the organisation's greatest decline in company turnover, accompanied by large-scale retrenchments of low-paid workers (Evershed, 2017). Yet as extravagant as Fahour's pay appears, it is far from the largest executive remuneration packages paid to CEOs in Australia. In recent years, some have surpassed $30 million per annum. In the United States (US), CEO pay can be 300 times that of the average wage within the company (Mishel and Davis, 2015). Even after a slight 'correction' in CEO pay, which dipped in Australia during the Global Financial Crisis from an average of $5.5 million per annum to $4.7 million, David Richardson of The Australia Institute has recently found that CEO pay is on the rise again, averaging $5.2 million last financial year (Patty, 2018, and Richardson, 2018).

The $86,111 dilemma
Plan members who earn $86,111 a year are being discriminated against in company pension plans. Many years ago, the Income Tax Act defined a high wage earner as anyone earning more than $86,111. This limit was set as the maximum amount of pensionable income that can be taken into consideration when funding a registered pension plan. Earnings greater than this amount cannot be funded in an RPP. It may have an appropriate limit at the time, but no longer. Many mid-level managers earn more than this limit. As a result, RPPs in Canada today prevent executives and many other employees from acquiring optimal retirement savings. The difference between an employee's pensionable earnings and the maximum allowed pension contribution results in a retirement benefit gap. This gap has continued to be a real problem for many Canadian workers.
