The laws and regulations related to remuneration practices: a comparative and analytical investigation into legal aspects

2015

This research aims to contribute to the analysis of the laws and regulations related to remuneration practices. It is also intends to offer recommendations and solutions to the problem of setting levels and Structures of remuneration in Saudi Arabia, an area which is currently neglected despite its importance. Remuneration is a crucial tool in solving the agency problem between shareholders and managers in public companies where the separation of ownership and control exists by providing incentives. However, in Saudi Arabia this practice shows a tendency towards high fixed remuneration and variable remuneration set without any clear links between this and performance, causing variable remuneration to become another salary. Since inadequate laws and regulation have been found to be at least partially responsible for this state of affairs, solving this problem requires careful analysis of the most important jurisdictions which have developed laws and regulations. Thus, the thesis adop...

The Compensation and Benefits System: Private Companies vs. Budgetary System

European Review Of Applied Sociology, 2015

The economic evolution of the last decades has entailed major changes concerning the Human Resource Management practices, in both private and budgetary sector of Romania.

Legal Aspects of Executive Remuneration in Polish Listed Companies

Ch. Van der Elst (ed.), Executive Directors’ Compensation in Comparative Corporate Perspective, Kluwer Law International, 2015

The issue of remuneration of company officers is of highest importance in modern corporate governance debate. The directors not only are corporate stakeholders themselves, but also predominantly serve as agents in the contractual relationship managing wealth entrusted to them by shareholders and bearing responsibility for proper execution of duties under the contractual nexus. This dual role triggers certain conflicts of interest. Rules and standards, in both legislation and self-regulation (soft-law) regarding corporate governance, on both European and national levels, are in many ways focused on mitigating these agency problems, and therefore preventing company officers from abusing their powers and receiving benefits to the detriment of the shareholders. Remuneration is one of the obvious areas where such abuse may occur. Setting proper managerial incentives that would include both the basic remuneration and a bonus (either in cash, stock, stock options or other) is, therefore, considered to be one of the most important current issues, regarding the proper functioning of companies. Our paper (written as a book chapter for an edited volume) provides a legal and factual (empirical) analysis of the executive remuneration in Poland. Even though the issues regarding executive compensation are among the most important ones in the contemporary corporate governance debate, Polish regulations are rudimentary, and remain behind the current developments at the EU and international level. Still, the Polish Code of Commercial Companies and other legal acts do provide some basic framework for executive compensation – such as default rules on management pay whereby it is to be set by the supervisory board. Furthermore, the Code contains rules allowing for the authorization of the supervisory board by the shareholders’ general meeting to establish an additional remuneration package based on a profit-sharing scheme. Other than that, there is no shareholder ‘say on pay’-rule in Poland. Special rules applicable to State Owned Companies set a compensation cap. Listed companies must disclose in their annual reports the amount of remuneration and bonuses. Empirical evidence reveals, stock-based remuneration plans may be found in a significant number of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, but as yet they are not commonplace in Poland. There is no single scheme used by the companies, instead there is a variety of legal instruments enabling the implementation of such incentive plans.
