For companies with more than one CEO during the year, the highest paid CEO is included in the database. Pay ratio data and median employee pay are displayed as disclosed by each company’s proxy statement. Pay ratios may not equal the displayed CEO’s total compensation due to differing company methodologies in calculating pay ratios.
