San Francisco voters approved a tax on businesses that pay their chief executive officer (CEO) or “highest-paid managerial employee” well above the median salary for the rest of their employees.

The amount due will depend on how much more the CEO earns. If a company’s top earner makes 100 times more than the company’s average worker, the business will have to pay a 0.1% surcharge on its annual business tax payment.
