...past few months, a number of financial firms have instituted or beefed up rules that would allow them to force employees to return year-end bonuses. So-called clawbacks would be triggered by subsequently discovered misconduct and some firms say they may even apply in cases where employees made trades that looked profitable at first, but go sour. (See the financial crisis after one year...
...employment lawyers and pay experts say more needs to be done to rein in Wall Street compensation. In practice, it is often hard to get employees to return pay. Moves to limit clawbacks only to deferred compensation (money that is earned but not paid out until a specified future date), which is the easiest to recover, may actually increase risky behavior.

...Just as bad, most observers also aren't buying the hopeful government predictions that, however small the fourth-quarter growth was, renewed positive output marks the beginning of a gradual return to normal economic activity. That skepticism applies to the rest of Europe and other parts of the world as well. Analysts say that even though countries like France, Germany and the U.S. emerged from the recession months ago, their economic performances since then have remained very weak and vulnerable to setbacks. The reason? These countries returned to growth the same way Britain did: through massive infusions of state money...
