The main two reasons for the companies to implement variable pay plan are: motivating employees and reducing cost. In this paper we try to point out the challenges the organizations might face when they apply variable pay system by reviewing related literature. We find that it is difficult for the company to have a reliable measure for the variable pay system. In addition, the focus of the variable pay plan should be on motivating employees or cutting cost and how to strike a balance between these two is also an essential issue. Finally we conclude that we always have to assess the circumstances of the organization before applying the plan.

As I have progressed in learning more about the system, I have Jessica Lash who is one of the managers that started with ultipro and assists me with any pressing questions that I might have and we have been working together to get Ultipro live within our business units. Every Monday is busy Monday. Monday is the day that I keep a close eye on my email to get the go ahead from each of the business units to start processing their payroll. The payroll process is very complex because you are in control of your employees getting paid. Once I have imported the timesheets of the employees and made the corrections that need to be made I send the payroll journal over to the local Human Resource contact to approve the payroll journal and I will then finish the payroll for the checks to be printed.

Each employee that has been hired, I key in each employee to make sure that all of the documents are correct. The documents that I key in are I-9 documents to benefit election forms. As I key in each of the new hires that come across my desk, I have learned all of the benefit packages that ARCH has to offer.

11. Print paychecks. Print paychecks, either manually on individual checks or, much more commonly, through a computer printer, with the printouts using a standard format that itemizes all wage calculations and deductions on the remittance advice. If direct deposits are made, a remittance advice should still be printed and issued. 12. Enter payroll information in general ledger. Use the information in the payroll register to compile a journal entry that transfers the payroll expense, all deductions, and the reduction in cash to the general ledger (see Chapter 13, “Payroll Journal Entries”). 13. Send out direct deposit notifications. If a company arranges with a local bank to issue payments directly to employee accounts, then a notification of the accounts to which payments are to be sent and the amounts to be paid must be assembled, stored on tape or other media, and sent to the bank (see Chapter 10, “Payments to Employees”). 14. Deposit withheld taxes. The employer must deposit all related payroll tax deductions and employer-matched taxes at a local bank that is authorized to handle these transactions. The IRS imposes a rigid deposit schedule and format for making deposits that must be followed in order to avoid penalties (see Chapter 8, “Payroll Taxes and Remittances”). 15. Issue paychecks. Paychecks should, at least occasionally, be handed out directly to employees, with proof of identification required; this is a useful control point in larger
John Maynard Keynes was born in Cambridge, England in 1883 (Bateman, Toshiaki, Maria, 2010). He was the first born in a family of three children. He spent most of his toddler years in Cambridge where he attended kindergarten. In 1889, he attended his first kindergarten lessons at Perse School for Girls where he was supposed to attend lessons for five days a week. At the initial stage of education, he showed great interest in Arithmetic, laying a firm foundation for his future career as an economist (Bateman, et al. 2010) As his health was not good at this time, he had to take his lessons from home lessons since he could not attend classes on a
Broadly speaking, the modern economic science has two major components: microeconomics and macroeconomic. Compared to microeconomics, macroeconomics is a wider branch of economics. In 1936, macroeconomics emerged as a separate division of economics with the publication of John Maynard Keynes’ revolutionary book “The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money”. In the study of microeconomics, it is examined how individual units, whether they be households or firms, come to a decision on how to allocate resources and whether those decisions are appropriate. On the other hand, in macroeconomics, the economy is studied as a whole. Macroeconomics studies the aggregate outcomes of all the decisions that households, firms, and the government make in an economy. Accordingly, the study of the behaviour of and structural changes in, aggregate or national production, aggregate consumption, aggregate savings, aggregate investment, general price level, total exports and imports and a country’s balance of payment position can be considered as the subject matters of macroeconomics. For the purpose of macroeconomic studies, all
