Business And Marketing: Human Resources Compensation Worksheet
This is course work from a compensation class in Human Resource major.
Please answer the following two compensation-related scenarios in no more than 1-2 pages (for both). Before responding think about what questions need to be asked and what additional pieces of information might be needed to properly respond to the scenarios.
Scenario 1 – Balancing Internal Alignment and External Competitiveness
An employee says she received an offer from another employer and is considering accepting the offer. Money is a huge factor. She currently makes $60,000 per year and the offer is for $68,000 per year. The employee says she will decline the offer if you agree to a $5,000 pay increase. What should you consider in this situation to make a responsible decision about how to proceed? (20 points)
Scenario 2 – Adjusting Compensation
As the hiring manager for an open position in your department, you decided to offer the job to an employee who works in another department in the organization. The position is classified two pay grades higher than the employee’s current position. What additional questions must be answered, and what additional information do you need to make a responsible decision regarding how much, if any, of a pay increase is appropriate in this case? How will you determine an appropriate starting pay for this employee’s pending promotion? (20 points)
Please discuss the following statements with your opinion, experiences, and research in no more than 2-3 pages (for all three total). You may agree or disagree but make sure to support your answers.
Statement 1
Employee performance can be recognized and rewarded through incentives. Raises based on merit should be done through an effective performance appraisal system so that only employees who are deserving should be given a merit raise. (20 points)
Statement 2
Organizations without a formal compensation structure usually base the worth of jobs on subjective opinions of people familiar with the jobs while organizations with formal compensation programs are more likely to rely on a job evaluation system. Most compensation professionals believe that a job’s value should be based on the total value that it delivers to the organization. (20 points)
Statement 3
Pay levels are limited by profits and financial resources available to employers. An organization’s ability to pay is partially determined by the productivity of the employees. Generally, increases in capital investment and technology may reduce the number of employees required to perform the work, thus increasing the employer’s ability to provide higher pay to the remaining employees.
