Factors Determining Pay Rates
• Legal• Unions• Company Strategy and Policy• Geography• Equity
College Of Engineering , PuneForerunners in technical education
Legal Factors(Acts, Commissions, Statutory Provisions)
• Minimum Wages Act, 1948: Wages are fixed for scheduled employment, specified in the act.
• Companies Act, 2013: Framework for remuneration of top management of Indian companies.
• Working Journalists and Other Newspaper Employees and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1955
• MNREGA, 2005: Minimum wages for 100 days of financial year.
• Pay Commissions: For government employees• Payment of Wages Act, 1936 & Equal Remuneration Act,
1976• The Unorganized Workers Social Security Act, 2008

Unions• Formal collective bargaining agreements
between trade unions and employers form the foundation of pay plans.
• Restricted to public sector employment or formal private sector employment.
• Involvement, may be at industrial level, multi unit company level or at plant level.
• Representatives of government employees – Pay Commission – Government
• Example, of IIT and IIM faculty members and Armed forces

Company Strategy and Policy & Geography
• Compensation plan should help in achieving the Company objectives.
• Need to produce Aligned reward strategy.• Examples of few companies.• Geography affects the pay rates: for this IT
companies have established units in smaller cities.• Various allowances are given to adjust effects
geography: Hardship allowances, Relocation allowances
• Various ways to adjust the effect: Raising the salaries, Differentials for on going costs, lump sump, etc.

Equity• Equity theory of motivation postulates that people are
strongly motivated to maintain a balance between what they perceive as inputs and their rewards.
• External: Pay rates in one company compared to other companies.
• Internal: Pay rates of a job as compared to other jobs in the same company.
• Individual: Individual’s pay compared with co worker’s pay.
• Procedural: Perceived fairness of the processes while making decision of allocations.

Establishing Pay PlansFollowing are the steps involved in establishing pay rates:1. Salary Surveys2. Job Evaluation3. Group Similar Jobs into Pay Grades4. Price Each Pay Grade5. Fine Tune Pay Rates
College Of Engineering , PuneForerunners in technical education
Salary Surveys• Survey of what others are paying• Helps in ensuring external equity• Can be informal, newspaper or internet
salary survey• Three ways to use: price benchmark jobs,
price 20% or more directly in market place, other information on benefits
• Examples, Paycheck India, William M. Mercer, Inc.

Job evaluation• Formal and systematic comparison of jobs
to determine the worth of one job relative to another.
• Helps in ensuring internal equity.• Principle is simple, job which has greater
requirements should be allocated more as compared to job which has lesser requirements
• Two basic approach: Intuitive approach and comparison based on common factors.

Continued…• Focus on second approach, common
factors are called compensable factors.
• Compensable factors: developed (Wal Mart uses its own CFs) or used as given the equal pay act.
• Choice of appropriate CFs is necessary.
• Three steps in preparing job evaluation: identifying the need, getting cooperation and formation of evaluation committee.

Continued…Following are the methods used in job evaluation:1. Ranking Method2. Classification Method3. Point Method4. Factor Comparison Method
College Of Engineering , PuneForerunners in technical education
Ranking MethodBased on some overall factors like ‘Job difficulty.’Involves following steps:1. Obtain job information2. Select and group jobs3. Select compensable factors4. Rank jobs5. Combine ratings
College Of Engineering , PuneForerunners in technical education
Classification Method• Simple, widely used method in which raters
categorize jobs into groups; all jobs are roughly of same value in a group.
• Groups are called classes if they contain similar jobs and grades if they contain jobs that are similar in difficulty but otherwise different.
• Ways of classification: write class or grade description and place jobs into classes or grades based on how well they fit these description. Second is to write a set of compensable factors based rules for each class and then categorize.

Point Method• It is a quantitative technique.• Involves: identifying several
compensable factors, each having several degrees and a degree to which these factors are present in the job.
• The result is a quantitative point rating for each job.
• Most widely used method.College Of Engineering , Pune

Factor Comparison Method• Also a widely used method• Refinement of ranking method• Ranking is done for each job, several
times – each for the compensable factor
• After the above is done, combination of rankings is done and one single numerical rating is generated for each job.

Grouping jobs into Pay Grades• Assigning the pay rates could be the next step
after job evaluation; suitable for small scale works but not for large scale entities like government; thus, the need of grouping
• Involves grouping of similar jobs (in terms of the job evaluation method) into Pay Grades
• Depends on the method used for job evaluation• If point method is used, jobs within some range
will be grouped together into pay grades.

Pricing Each Pay Grade• Formal step of assigning the pay
rates to each pay grade• If organization is small, it directly
comes after job evaluation and opposite is true for a big organization
• Use of wage curves is made to assign pay rates to each pay grade

Continued…• Wage curve shows the pay
rates currently paid for jobs in each pay grade relative to the points or rankings assigned to them in the job evaluation.
• Purpose; draw a relationship between points obtained and pay rates
• Steps; find out average pay for each pay grade – plot pays and points – fit a line through plotted points – wages along the line are target wages
Fine Tune Pay Rates• It may not be possible to give all the
jobs in a grade same pay rate.• Method to develop vertical pay
ranges for all horizontal pay grades and the graph so obtained is called as a wage structure.
• Choice of going for the range in pay rates may be done arbitrarily or with respect to specific issues of the organizationCollege Of Engineering , Pune

• Some rates may not fall in the range; would go above or below the range established for a particular grade.
• Suitable adjustments are done for the conditions above.College Of Engineering , Pune
