This paper will fundamentally provide a substantive evaluation of how executive compensation correlates with the firm’s performance in the listed corporate firms in the United States. Equally important, such firms which are the beneficiaries of the public funding are entitled to expressly owe the public authorities the obligation to regulate the executive compensation levels. The paper will also delineate the regulatory approaches in U.S. along with the issues facing the executive compensation since the start of the dramatic economic crisis. The impositions of legally specified levels of executive compensation have not been in place since the start of the economic crisis. Even though the French president Nicholas liberated for the placement of the limits upon the bonus issuance to the executives at the Summit G20 in 2009 in the United States, this model was never at all implemented. However, softer regulation as an approach to regulate the executive pay has been analytically useful in achieving better governance of executive paying levels. Subsequently, the paper will give a vivid description of economic development prior to the fore said crisis. The development of executive pay policies on executive compensation has been popular in many national economic contexts since the economic crisis began. For instance in 2008, the emergency Economic Stabilization Act established that they would provide leverage benefits to the firms in case of the financial crisis.
Accordingly, the firms which at that time owed the Troubled Asset Relief Programs (TARP), were legitimately requested to cleave to ‘’say to pay’’ resolutions. Further, on resolving the economic problem, in the year 2009, the united State house of Representative launched the ‘Corporate and Financial Institution Fairness Act, which fundamentally advocated for shareholders rights to vote for the executive compensation policies. The paper will equally give a clear explanation of the policy tools used to regulate the executive compensation in the last few fiscal years. For instance, the United State has come up with the Executive Pay watch, a website which monitors and publishes the actual rates of executive pay at various high profiled corporate bodies. With this kind of a system the U.S governance is able to have a clear comparative technique to evaluate the salaries and wages of the workers employed in these companies. Then the issue of the income tax will also be reviewed in this paper.

Introduction The purpose of this research is to prove that the employment at will doctrine does not protect the employee population in the United States. The fact that if you look at the way the doctrine is written it protects the employers and firms, and this as a result creates discrimination. This in itself creates an unsafe and sometime unstable work environment because of the potential for high turnover, costly training, and low morale amongst employees.
