The Department of Justice (DOJ) might soon begin requiring companies seeking a settlement of criminal charges to claw back compensation from employees involved in the misconduct.
In remarks delivered Thursday, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said, “[E]very corporate resolution involving the Criminal Division will now include a requirement that the resolving company develop compliance-promoting criteria within its compensation and bonus system.”
Compliance-promoting criteria consists of two parts: demanding the return of compensation earned by employees engaged in misconduct (clawbacks) and implementing a corporate compensation and bonus program that would measure compensation tied to an employee’s compliance score. The DOJ is also establishing a pilot program to reduce a corporation’s fine by the amount of clawbacks demanded, Monaco said.
