The appropriate pay structure and compensation plan will help FastCat strengthen employee retention and increase productivity through incentives, rewarding performance, and employee engagement. FastCat’s success will be determined by its ability to balance the pay structure with firm profitability. We recommend FastCat use bands and zones because of the goal established in Phase I to be a more egalitarian organization...

...financial officers, chief executive officer, upper level managers and the company president. Executive compensation mostly consists of base salary, bonuses, long-term incentives benefits, and prerequisites whose main purpose is to motivate the executives to steer the company to profitability and make decisions with the best interest of the organization. Executive compensation has been on an upward rise especially within the last few decades reaching to unprecedented levels. Worse still, executive employees’ salaries and benefits have increased at a significantly higher rate as compared to other employee’s compensation consequently raising controversy not only of the ethical issues but on issues of equity and efficacy of the high compensation in motivating the executive’s performance. The paper thus posits that the increased executive salaries are not only unethical but are not a reflection of executive performance nor are they correlated to executives performance and as such other options of motivating executive employees should be explored. Other employee motivations such as through psychological contract, organization motivation and employee development should be sought especially with the increased use of teams in management in volatile environment. Types of executive compensation Executive compensation consists of the base salary, bonuses, and long-term-incentives such as...

...WORKGROUP SALARY DISPERSION AND TURNOVER INTENTION IN CHINA: A CONTINGENT EXAMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AND THE DUAL DEPRIVATION PATH EXPLANATION W E I H E , L I - R O N G L O N G , A N D B Å R D K U VA A S The present study generalizes previous pay dispersion research to the Chinese context by examining the cross-level relationship between workgroup salary dispersion and employee turnover intention contingent on individual differences. Field survey data including annual objective salary and self-reported attitudes among 370 Chinese employees in 51 organizational workgroups supported our cultural predictions by showing that the relationship between workgroup salary dispersion and turnover intention was positive only among employees with higher rather than lower levels of Chinese traditionality and among those with lower rather than higher salary levels. Furthermore, the results of mediated moderation analyses suggest that a dual-deprivation path model can explain the above relationships. We discuss the theoretical, cultural, and practical implications of these findings for organizations. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Keywords: salary dispersion, Chinese traditionality, turnover intention Introduction E mployee turnover is a challenge for organizations and managers not only because of the decreased firm performance followed by the loss of talent, but also due to the expensive replacement cost associated with hiring, selecting, and training...

...their jobs. Together, intrinsic and extrinsic compensation, expresses a company’s total compensation system. (Martocchio, 2013) A company’s compensation philosophy suggests a set of directorial principles that are bound by acceptable employment practices and employee rights that have lead companies to decision-making about compensation. The compensation philosophy will compose a statement of purpose that will explain how its compensation plan will meet the needs of the company, shareholders, employees, and customers. Some compensation philosophies will list where its salaries fall in relationship to the regional/national wage markets, depending on size of the company, as well as use of explicit salary figures for an entry level employee with no experience. Other companies choose not to provide fixed figures meanwhile focusing on furthering its beliefs, attitudes, and principles that will structure the compensation plan and the company’s endeavor towards excellence, inspiration and encouragement of its employees through compensation (smallbusiness.chron.com). An effective compensation plan should include the following components: Objective, Importance of compensation, performance measures, reference (Benchmarking) points, competitive positioning, Internal equity and consistency, and governance program.

...is to increase revenue and the new pay structure will accomplish that goal in the long run. The new, cost containment, policy rewards, among other things, behavior aligned with FastCat’s objectives. This in turn will increase revenue, innovation, and customer satisfaction. This new system will need to be assessed over time to make improvements. Choosing a multiple job structure with a person-based pay will allow FastCat to utilize a hybrid structure. We have decided to lead with pay in the more critical jobs and match with the remainder jobs which include low skill or are entry level positions. We have assessed present salaries, created a merit pay plan, and suggested a bonus structure and benefits package. Employee buy in is vital to this new structure and it is FastCat’s responsibility to keep the communication channels open. Strategy for Recognizing Performance Performance based pay plans are based on a number of dimensions. In light of the work done at FastCat, we have chosen criteria that allows for a better distribution of wages and implies sacrifice on everyone’s behalf. However, in the long run, most employees, and the organization will benefit from the new pay structure. Assess Present Salaries Changes for costs in the employee group did not directly translate for FastCat; there were several red and green circle employees. Benchmark jobs were able to alleviate most of these problems. For the remainder of the deviant salaries, FastCat should instate adjustments,...

...which employee performance is retrieved and criticism and/or remedial action plans are put into place in order to help make the employees work more effectively. (Youssef, 2012) There are many effective appraisal processes that help to evaluate and motivate a company’s most valuable assets (employees), and when used consistently a company or organization flourishes while retaining their best talented and skilled assets. Although the main reason for performance appraisals is to evaluate work performance, it is also important because it represents the effectiveness and goals that the organization has set and want to achieve through their employees. Organizations use performance appraisal for many other purposes as well such as; managing salaries and wages, providing communication points of strength and weaknesses, to determine job placement decisions, and also to justify disciplinary actions such as termination of an employee due to poor continued work performance. (Youssef, 2012) Without performance appraisals the everyday job that one does starts to become stagnant and monotonous and the employee has no sense of accomplishment. They also lose interest in increasing effectiveness if no one seems to care whether you’re doing a good job or are in need of areas of improvement. Keeping employees motivated and rewarded with incentive is key to a low turnover rate along with establishing a core of loyal and productive employees. The motivational role of incentives is to attract candidates...

...Executive Summary Introduction Research Findings Salaried/Hourly Compensation Commission/Productivity-Based Compensation Longevity Compensation Recommendations6 Conclusion7 References8 Executive Summary This report reviews three different compensation strategies PepsiCo can develop and implement within all of our PepsiCo. Brands and businesses for our employees. Compensation is one of the most important and rewarding factors for our employees based on our organizational health survey conducted in 2011, so a thoughtful and thorough approach should be taken as we think about changing the way in which our companies reward our employees for the work they perform on a daily basis. Salary and hourly compensations are easy and constant ways of paying the employees of our companies. Salary and hourly compensation can be a set wages employees will earn based on their job description. This wage will not change based on seniority or merit.

Commission/productivity based pay also known asperformance based pay is a relatively common and popular approach to compensation where the employee is paid by the employer based on their job performance; this inspires them to do their best work on a daily basis and gives the employees control of how much they make...
