Course Description
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) reduces executive compensation reporting requirements for certain companies. The goal is to encourage more companies to go public - and to raise capital without getting mired in SEC documentation.
When combined with Say on Pay regulations, the JOBS Act affects how newly public companies, as well as private companies that anticipate going public in the future, structure and report their executive compensation packages.
This means that you, as an HR professional, must be up to date on all of the rules to make sure your organization remains both competitive and compliant.
