The public fundraising "refund" scandal has resurfaced. What is the truth?

June 26th news, today, there are market news that a central enterprise requires its public fund company to return more than 2.90 million yuan issued in 2023 from the end of June to mid-August, and does not distinguish between the vesting period of bonuses and whether it is deferred from previous years. It is understood that at present, there are indeed public funds under central enterprises that have implemented salary restrictions, and the salary refund work that has exceeded the standard since 2022 has been started this week, but the salary refund standard is not the above 2.90 million yuan, but partially returned after reaching a certain standard. "At present, it is rumored that several central enterprise subsidiaries have taken salary restrictions, which may be due to shareholder pressure." Some fund industry insiders told reporters. However, some fund company insiders said that "it is unlikely that their own company will have a salary refund". "It is not legal to ask for a refund of legal income if the employee has not violated the law," said one legal practitioner. "Salaries and bonuses can only be recovered after a court determines that the employee has violated the law."
