Disclosure rules not enough to curb U.K. salary gaps

The issue of “fat cat” pay awards was reignited in the United Kingdom after a think tank found a typical FTSE 100 chief executive officer earned the average annual salary for a full-time worker after just four days into the new year.

The HPC said median FTSE 100 CEO pay, excluding pension, is currently 3.81 million pounds (U.S. $4.8 million), compared to the median full-time worker’s pay of £34,963 (U.S. $44,500).
