I don't know we ever discussed this before on here.... but this is from a DXC filing with the SEC in June 2018 - its a matter of public record. They had to publish this by law.
Read on....
As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are disclosing the ratio of annual total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Lawrie, to our median employee’s annual total compensation.
The SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.
The methodology we used to determine the required disclosure consisted of the following:
• We used January 1, 2018 as the date to identify our median employee.
• The median employee was determined by using total taxable income, also referred as W-2 earnings, for all U.S. employees and equivalent total taxable income for employees located outside of the United States, for the 2017 calendar year.
• Annualized salaries for full-time and part-time permanent employees that were not employed for the full calendar year of 2017 were used. We did not annualize the salaries of seasonal or temporary employees.
• For employees located outside of the United States, local currency compensation was converted to U.S. dollars using the company’s standard exchange rates for fiscal 2018, which are also used for financial reporting purposes.
• Given DXC’s presence in approximately 70 countries, in determining the median employee we used cost-of-living adjustments to normalize differences in the underlying economic conditions of the countries where DXC operates, as permitted under the rules. Cost-of-living adjustments were based on the World Bank’s 2017 PPP ratio, or Purchasing Power Parity, for all countries outside of the United States.
• As permitted by the de minimis exemption under the rules, we excluded 7,625 employees in Croatia (2), Fiji (23), Indonesia (49), Ireland (407), Nigeria (9), Oman (2), Peru (107), the Philippines (5,890), the Russian Federation (64), Tunisia (17), Ukraine (8), Venezuela (37), and Vietnam (1,010), who, as a group, represented approximately 5% of our total employee population of approximately 152,500 on January 1, 2018. As a result of these exclusions, the employee population used to identify our median employee consisted of approximately 145,000 employees.
Our median employee, determined using cost-of-living adjustments, resides in India. The annual total compensation of the median employee was $79,604, with the application of the same cost-of-living adjustments used to determine the median employee. The annual total compensation of Mr. Lawrie, our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table was $32,185,309. The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee was 404:1, with cost-of-living adjustments applied. Without the application of cost-of-living adjustments, the annual total compensation of the median employee was $39,945, resulting in a ratio of 806:1.
YES THATS RIGHT HUNDRED AND FOUR TO ONE.
Only three other CEO's in the Washington DC area are bigger takers:
