Former Hertz General Counsel Rebuffs Demand for Clawback
Hertz Global Holdings has filed a lawsuit against its former general counsel and some other former managers after they refused to pay back at least $70 million in incentive compensation for their roles in an accounting scandal five years ago, reports The Global Legal Post.
The company accused the former executives of pressuring employees to use fraudulent accounting techniques to inflate income and earnings, according to a March 25 lawsuit.
Former general counsel Jeffrey Zimmerman has refused to return incentive compensation tied to the erroneous accounting results.
