As mentioned above, the three factors of the Hay Method were applied to all of the jobs in FastCat to develop the two pay structures. Know-how consists of the cognitive abilities required for a job, such as planning, communication, and knowledge. This particular factor is important in all jobs at FastCat. When determining the ratings for each job title, we evaluated the education level required for the job as well as the level of experience and job knowledge required. For example, the Software Solutions Consultant requires a Bachelor’s degree in Business or Computer Science, as well as a minimum of five years of experience in technical sales support. Therefore, this position scored a 5 in know-how. On the contrary, the Administrative …show more content…
We felt as though the positions in the research and development pay structure were more heavily focused on problem solving because they are the people generating and maintaining the software. Therefore, we weighted problem solving as 40% for those employees. This can be linked to our pay objective of fostering development of innovative and affordable products. By ensuring that our research and development employees are rewarded for their problem solving skills, we can trust that they will be developing state of the art software. In addition, this aligns with our objective of promoting teamwork because our problem solvers in research and development will be compensated for solving problems within their teams. While the remaining positions do involve problem solving as well, we did not feel that was the most important of the three components for the business employees. The final factor of the Hay Method, accountability, involves the impact of the work as well as freedom on the job. When evaluating each of the job descriptions for the positions, we looked at the level of independence that the person would have on the job as well as the number of people that depend on the individual. For example, the Implementation Consultant has a lot of freedom on the job and acts as a liaison when implementing the software for the clients. Due to this nature of the work, this position received a
Having a system that allows management to track position control instead of by employees would allow analysis of data to the salary grade and duty title. Giving management the ability to keep pay the same for the position no matter which location the employee works.
From a total rewards perspective, the reorganization allowed the company to develop ways to improve the satisfaction of its employees. Linking pay to performance and other compensation incentives was an asset when recruiting talented technology professionals to come in and build
carefully planned out and considered, the total closure or failure of the organization could be at hand in the near future. In our modern age, employers know that salary is not the only factor that should be considered and that salary alone will not lead to better or more highly profitable workers alone. This is why compensation planning is important and why pay should have some connection between performance and compensation. This is why the human resources department should consider many monetary and non-monetary factors when considering how to properly compensate and motivate employees (Dessler, 2013).
Base pay will be determined according to the value of the skills and competencies an employee has acquired on the production floor, there will be the incentive for skill development as employees base pay will increase as their skill proficiencies enlarge. This will also create mobility between jobs in the organization as many members will be proficient in numerous jobs.
Benchmarking jobs was a critical step in developing grades and ranges. Some of the job descriptions in the survey data did not clearly relate to the jobs in FastCat, which caused us to avoid those particular survey jobs. Due to these discrepancies among the job descriptions, we decided to evaluate the descriptions that most clearly matched the FastCat jobs. For example, in the Business and Marketing pay structure, the Administrative Aide requires very basic qualifications, such as a high school diploma and competencies in basic skills, such as word processing and simple administrative tasks. We felt that this most closely identified with the Office Support 1 position because its description involved simple word processing tasks as well
We all dream of an ulterior world, a world in which we picture a perfect life with no struggles, problems, or pandemics. Both Interstellar, by Christopher Nolan, and Station Eleven by Emily Mandel, depict their characters as struggling not only with survival, but their sense of their own identity and security. Within Station Eleven, the saying, “survival is insufficient” is a recurring theme of Interstellar as well. While there are some differences in the characters and themes within Interstellar and Station Eleven, the similarities are the connections to their identity in which they adapt to the force of change within their world. As the characters struggle with adapting, they cling to certain things that allow them to remain sane. As a result, the characters feel like they have a purpose again due to their struggle for survival.

Some organizations are unwilling to show their reward systems and pay policies (Lawler, 1995). Many Human Resources professionals believe gender pay gaps to be resolvable through the monitoring of pay levels and communication (Report on Salary Surveys).Greater pay transparency has been a great benefit to the board, employees and managers as they now know what is happening across the business and they are able to confidently justify their actions (Commission Policy Report).All market-related supplements are recorded and reviewed separately from basic salary to ensure openness and transparency. Regular research market rates within the various labor markets in which they operate is undertaken improving transparency would also help to improve talent development, as employees would be able to see what they could earn if they wanted to move to another division and upgrade their skill set. (Commission Policy Report).
Hence, person focused pay systems typically have higher average hourly wages than traditional pay systems. Since skill-based pay systems give everyone the opportunity to learn multiple skills, a large investment is made in training and, of course, training is costly in terms of paying trainers and losing production time. Furthermore, the more serious problem is that when individuals are constantly learning new jobs, production losses and problems result because inexperienced people are performing the work. Because employees are always trying to leam new skills under this kind of pay system,
To obtain the desired education degree for the human resource career field, human resource management students must learn and complete various subjects during the education program as they would need to employ various skills in their practical life.
