Greetings to all,
Discuss the basic building blocks of developing a market competitive pay system, including the relationship between internal and external equity.
The basic building blocks of developing a market competitive pay system have four steps conducting strategic analyses, assessment of competitors pay practices with compensation surveys, integrating the internal job structure with external market pay rates and determining compensation policies.
· Conducting strategic analyses internal factors are fictional capabilities and financial condition and external market factors industry profile, competitors information and long-term growth prospect.
· Assessment of competitors pay practices with compensation surveys gathering data from the competitors wages, salaries and benefits to establish objectives for the pay system. This system will guide you on how the market is being run that you dont under or over pay for any positons. All data collected will be used and enables compensation professional to obtain a realistic review of the competitors compensation practices. Thus, the objective for developing the pay system should also keep in line with the companys goals and objectives.
· Integrate internal job structures wit external market pay rates this step will balance out any pay policies that will fit between managing cost and being able to attract and retain good employees.
· Compensation policies, the final step have 3 pay level market lead, market lag and market match:
· Market lead is where the company will compensate their employee higher than the market
· Market lag the company will compensate less than the market
