Master of Business Administration-MBA Semester 4 Assignment - MU0015 – Compensation Benefits - Set 1
Q1. What are the factors that have to be determined before preparing the salary structure? Ans. The following three factors have to be determined while developing a pay structure: · The proper data for establishing the relative value of a particular job to the organisation. · The proper pay range for a job with the defined value to the organisation. · The value of each job position within the specified pay range. Once the above factors are determined, pay structures can be developed through the following steps: 1. Group the jobs with those that have a similar value in the organisation. 2. Measure these groups to find out the number of pay ranges needed to group the jobs on the basis of their value to the organisation. 3. Create a salary range that has a minimum point, a mid-point and a maximum point for amounts allotted within the range and determine the pay for each job grouping. An organisation’s compensation philosophy and pay strategy determines the approach that should be taken to allocate pay across job ranges.
