n 2014 the EU passed legislation that capped bankers’ bonuses at 100% of their pay or 200% with shareholder approval. Proponents of the cap say that it will reduce incentives for bankers to take excessive risk similar to what led to the 2008 financial crisis. Opponents say that any cap on banker’s pay will push up non-bonus pay and cause bank’s costs to rise.

I oppose to bonuses as many employers will have workers working rediculis hours and set them up to fail
@9G5HQ721yr1Y
I think that the worker should be rewarded for their success but they should have a limit on how much they get.

Yes, and increase regulations around what banks can do and their profits.
@9DBL3XJ 1yr1Y
Yes - but at a lower %, assuming it is at the loss of NZ'ers, and not a bank corporation.

All salaries and bonuses should be capped by a link to the earnings of the lowest paid.
