That ratio compares how much the company is paying the CEO compared to how much, on average, the company pays an employee. The idea is to give investors a guideline for rating fair CEO pay.
In honor of this new rule, Glassdoor sifted through its trove of self-reported employee salary data. It compared median average employee compensation in its database to CEO total compensation among companies on the S&P 500. (It had enough data on 441 companies.) From this, Glassdoor produced a ranking of CEO pay ratios.
Since the salary data is self-reported, the data isn't perfect. But its still a interesting look employee vs. CEO pay.
We've sifted through the massive list to come up with this list of CEOs who are paid at least 100 times more than their employees.
