On the evening of December 28, China Merchants Bank issued a blockbuster resolution announcement!
For those who have always thought that "once the salary is issued, it will be ironclad", perhaps this news has been an eye-opener for them. The Board of Supervisors of China Merchants Bank passed the "Proposal on the Recourse and Clawback of Performance Remuneration of China Merchants Bank in 2022", announcing that it will recourse and clawback the performance pay of some employees.
As early as March this year, China Merchants Bank disclosed in its annual report that in order to alleviate various operational and management risks, in accordance with regulatory requirements and operational management needs, the bank has established a relevant mechanism for salary deferred payment and performance pay recourse clawback. This year, a total of 2,876 employees were required to implement performance-based pay recourse clawback measures, with a total amount of 58.24 million yuan, and an average "salary" of 20,300 yuan per person.
This astonishing data sparked heated discussions among netizens, with some calling it "see you for a long time", and others saying that this is "the first time that you know that you can get your salary back when you are so old". For this seemingly unbelievable initiative, let's take a look at the story behind it.
Recourse clawback, "cruel treatment" performance problems!
China Merchants Bank's performance-based pay recourse clawback measures are actually aimed at punishing employees who have suffered losses due to poor performance, irregularities or wrong decisions. In the context of increasingly strict supervision of the financial industry, banking institutions have increasingly higher requirements for risk control. Therefore, in accordance with regulatory requirements and internal management needs, China Merchants Bank has established a recourse clawback mechanism to hold employees accountable for dereliction of duty and responsibility, thus maintaining the bank's reputation and stability.
In terms of implementation, 2,876 employees were required to return performance-based pay, accounting for 2.5% of all employees of China Merchants Bank. This figure is not small, and it also shows the rigorous attitude of China Merchants Bank in performance management and risk control. The irregularities or poor performance of these employees often have a negative impact on the bank's operation and reputation, so recourse clawback has become a necessary means.
Netizens have discussed a lot, and the "salary refund" has triggered a wave of public opinion!
This news quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens on the Internet. Some see this as a sign of "severe punishment" and a "harsh treatment" of performance issues, while others agree with this approach as a way to protect the bank's interests and employees' compliance with the law.
Of course, there are also concerns that such a move will put more pressure on bank employees, and even lead to some employees being perfunctory and no longer active in their work. In the face of these different voices, China Merchants Bank did not ignore them, saying that they would further improve the performance management mechanism to ensure fairness and justice, and also strengthen employee training and motivation to encourage more employees to be proactive.
