Bob (2011) Compensation processes are based onCompensation Philosophies and strategies and containarrangement in the shape of Policies and strategies, guidingprinciples, structures and procedures which are devisedand managed to provide and maintain appropriate types andlevels of pay, benefits and other forms of compensationBob (2011) This constitutes measuring jobvalues, designing and maintaining pay structures, payingfor performance, competence and skill, and providingemployee benefits. However, compensation management isnot just about money. It is also concerned with that non-financial compensation which provides intrinsic or extrinsicmotivationLITERATUREREVIEW 15. Pearce (2010) Compensation implies having acompensation structure in which the employeeswho perform better are paid more than the averageperforming employees.Nweke (2010) Successive constitutional reviewsand Civil Service reforms have catalysed theevolution of the civil service as an institution forspearheading the rapid transformation of the stateand ensuring continuity of administrationLITERATUREREVIEW 16. Hewitt (2009). Compensation Management as the namesuggests, implies having a compensation structure inwhich the employees who perform better are paid morethan the average performing employees. This encouragestop-performers to work harder and helps to build acompetitive atmosphere in the organizationHarrison and Liska (2008) in their study posit that rewardis the centre piece of the employment contract-after all itis the main reason why people work. This includes alltypes of rewards, both intrinsic and extrinsic, that arereceived as a result of employment by the organizationLITERATUREREVIEW 17. Employee compensation includes all forms of paygoing to employees and arising from their employment.It has two mains components, direct financialpayments (wages, salaries, incentives, and bonuses)and indirect financial payments (financial benefits likeemployer-paid insurance vacations).In turn, there are two basic ways to make directfinancial payments to employees: based on incrementsof time or based on performance. Time-based pay isstill the foundation of most employers pay plans.ANALYZE 18. The second direct payment option is to pay forperformance. For example, piecework ties compensation tothe amount of production (or number of pieces the workerturns out. Sales commissions are another performance-based (in this case, sales-based) compensation. Otheremployees devise pay plans that combine time-based payplus incentives.The compensation plan should first advance the firmsstrategic aims-management should produce an alignedreward strategy. This means creating a compensationpackage including wages, incentive, and benefits thatproduces the employee behaviors the firm needs to supportand achieve its competitive strategy. 19. With respect to compensation, managers should addressfour forms of equity: external, internal, individual, andprocedural.- External equity refers to how a jobs pay rate in onecompany compares to the jobs pay rate in othercompanies- Internal equity refers to how fair the jobs pay rate is whencompared to others job within the same company- Individual equity refers to the fairness of an individualspay as compared with what his or her coworkers areearning for the same or very similar jobs within thecompany, based on each individuals performance- Procedural equity refers to the perceived fairness of theprocesses and procedures used to make decisionsregarding the allocation of pay 20. Compensation management specialist call thesecompensable factors. They are the factors that establishhow the jobs compare to one another, and that determinethe pay for each job.Identifying compensable factors plays a central role in jobevaluation. Manager usually compare each job with allcomparable jobs using the same compensable factors.However, the compensable factors use depend on the joband the job evaluation method. For example, decisionmaking might make sense for a managers job, but not fora cleaners job. 21. What should the pay rate be for each job? Of course, jobswith more points should command higher pay. The questionis what pay rate to use. Our companys current, internalpay rates? Or pay rates based on what external market ispaying?With a market-competitive pay system, the employersactual pay rates are competitive with those in the relevantlabor, as well as equitable internally. Put simply, the basicapproach is to compare what the employer is currentlypaying for each job (internal pay) with what the market ispaying for the same or similar job (external pay), and thento combine this information to produce a market-competitive pay system. 22.
