Compensation Committee
A board committee responsible for setting and overseeing executive compensation, including salary, bonuses, equity grants, and benefits for the CEO and other senior officers. The compensation committee ensures that pay packages are competitive, aligned with company performance, and compliant with regulatory requirements. For public companies, this committee is typically composed entirely of independent directors to avoid conflicts of interest in pay decisions.
