Important Policy Issues
In writing the pay plan, ask the following:
1. Will we be a pay leader or a follower?
2. Will we emphasize seniority or performance?
3. What pay cycle?
![Page 8: Pay Plans & Rewards Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815985550346895dc6c3b9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Important Policy Issues
4. How do we fix salary compression?
5. How should we compensate based on geography or overseas employees?
6. Is the pay rate equitable with rates in other organizations outside the firm?

Salary Inequities How satisfied are you with your pay? What criteria were used for your recent pay
increase?” What factors do you believe are used when your
pay is determined?

Job Evaluation Method 1:Ranking Obtain job information Select raters and jobs Select compensable factors Rank jobs Combine ratings
![Page 18: Pay Plans & Rewards Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815985550346895dc6c3b9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Method 2: Job Classification
Rates categories of jobs into groups Groups called classes if jobs are similar Called grades if groups contain different jobs of
similar difficulty Example: Grade 10 may deputy director and the managing
director
![Page 19: Pay Plans & Rewards Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815985550346895dc6c3b9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Method 3: Point
The point method is more quantitative Identifies compensable factors The degree to which each of these factors is
present
![Page 20: Pay Plans & Rewards Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815985550346895dc6c3b9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Method 4: Factor Comparison
Factor comparison is a widely used method to rank jobs by a variety of skills and difficulties, then adding these to obtain a numerical rating for each job
With this method you rank each job several times—once for each of several compensable factors
![Page 21: Pay Plans & Rewards Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815985550346895dc6c3b9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3. Group Similar Jobs Into Pay Grades A pay grade is composed of equally difficult jobs Committee will assign pay rates to each job based on one
of the job methods Ranking method grades fall in to a point range Point method grades fall within two-three ranks Factor comparison grades pay rate range Classification method puts into classes or grades

4. Price Each Pay Grade -Wage Curves Developing a wage curve involves the following:
Find the average pay for each pay grade Plot the pay rates for each pay grade Fit the line called a wage line through the points just
plotted Price the jobs

Why Incentive Plans Can Fail
Performance pay can’t replace good management
You get what you pay for Pay is not a motivator Rewards punish Rewards rupture relationships
![Page 57: Pay Plans & Rewards Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815985550346895dc6c3b9/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Why Incentive Plans Can Fail
Rewards can unduly restrict performance Rewards may undermine responsiveness Rewards undermine intrinsic motivation People work for more than money
