The Securities and Exchange Commission has this week adopted a final rule that will require certain public companies to disclose the ratio of the compensation of their chief executive officer to the median compensation of their employees: see here (pdf). The SEC was required to adopt such a rule in order to implement section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.A short fact sheet explaining the new rule is available here. An update on the SEC's progress in implementing the mandatory rule making provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act can be found here.
