Record salaries for UK chief executives as pay rises for third year in a row | Executive pay and bonuses

According to a report, the bosses of Britain’s largest listed companies received high -wage packages for the third year.

The analysis found that the average record of the FTSE 100 general manager in the last financial year meant that the average full -time British workers’ salary was paid 122 times.

The executive fee has been increasing in the last four years as a result of the wage cuts received during the pandemi at a time when many households are still struggling with the life crisis.

According to the analysis of the High Fee Center, the average payment of a FTSE General Manager increased by approximately 7%until the previous year before the last financial year and rose to 4.58 million pounds.

The Thinktank report also shows that FTSE 100 has spent more than 1 billion £ for a fee in the last financial year, and that only 217 executives have been distributed to only 217 executives, and compared to the previous year, the executive wage represents almost a quarter of £ 757 million.

Luke Hildard, Director of the High Fee Center, said: “These figures will feed the feeling that low and mid -winners do not get a fair share of the reserve that they help create their work, and those at the summit do not receive much more than their rights or need.”

Most of the increase reflects the payment awards at the UK engineering company Melrose Industries, accused of “robber baron capitalism önce after purchasing the aviation and automotive group GKN for an hostile acquisition in 2018 for an hostile transfer in 2018.

The high wage center, which is campaigns for Fair Pay, found that the highest paid chief managers are current and former melrose boss Peter Dilnot and Simon Peckham, and that they were mostly thanks to long -term incentive payments, which took about £ 59 million for the last financial year.

Melrose, last June, a bonus plan established in 2020 within the scope of a bonus plan of more than 21 £ 21, existing more than 21 existing and former executives, led to anger.

The Lion’s share was taken by Peckham, one of the founders of the business, together with former president of the company, Christopher Miller and former Finance Director Geoffrey Martin.

The use of long -term incentive payments (LTIP) by large companies listed has increased in the last financial year, and 84 of the 100 chief managers have paid a LTIP compared to 81% compared to the previous year.

Pascal Soriot, General Manager of Astrazeneca, a pharmaceutical company, who spent the last two years as the highest paid boss of the FTSE 100, was pushed to the third place in the last financial year after winning £ 14.7 million.

In addition to Melrose executives, Soriot is now behind the existing and former bosses of the educator Pearson’s existing and former bosses in the League painting of High Pay Center. Pearson’s current General Manager Andy Bird and his predecessor Omar Abbosh together won almost 19 million pounds in the last financial year.

The number of FTSE 100 companies, which increased to their leaders £ 10 million or more, rose from 10 to 13 at a time when the UK’s cash shortages continued to feel the cost of the life crisis, and the Bank of England warned that increasing food prices may cause more inflation.

The figures also revealed a gender wage gap at the top of the corporate Britain, as the female leaders of the largest companies listed at the top of the company still tend to earn less than male colleagues.

For nine companies with women’s leaders throughout the whole year, the Median General Manager’s salary was £ 3.27 million compared to a man working by a man for all year round.

The high fee center believes that the largest earnings of the big listed companies are often at the expense of wage increases for the rest of the labor force.

The High Fee Center calls for reforms in regulations regulating the wage determination process, including the full implementation of the employment rights law of workers, including the measures that workers are informed by their employers by their union rights.

In addition, the Group calls for more workers to have the authority to choose the managers to the company boards through the more clear information specified in the annual reports of the enterprises.

Hildard, the government is now fully implemented and the company’s board of directors have been supported for the elected workers’ managers in a real voice, “he said.
