All business eyes will be on the Securities and Exchange Commission next Wednesday when the agency votes on whether to approve, amend or toss a rule that would require companies to disclose the pay of their three best-compensated employees. According to The Wall Street Journal, business has been briskly lobbying against the provision, affectionately known as the “Katie Couric Clause,” after the TV newswoman, reportedly the highest paid on the small screen. Based on reported comments, it appears a couple of the SEC’s commissioners are somewhat ambivalent, with Commissioner Paul Atkins saying he has “extremely deep reservations.” One proposal is to change the rule to require disclosure not of the top highest paid employees but those top earners with policy-making decision power. A “yes” vote would be seen as a major victory for SEC Chairman Christopher Cox.
