weekly, biweekly or bimonthly pay check.
Components of a salary system range include
everything for pay scales to the method
employers use to reward employees for
performance.
15. KEY ELEMENTS OF SALARY SYSTEM
Business Planning - Employee salaries are part
of the earliest stage in business development.
Before creating a formal business plan,
prospective business owners calculate salaries in
the operational expenses.
Workforce - Key elements within a salary
system are workforce skills and qualifications.
Employers construct job descriptions for each
position and assign value to those jobs through
an evaluation process.
16. Pay Structure - A compensation structure
consists of starting wages, cost-of-living
Increases, annual raises and cash incentives
and bonuses. The actual salary paid to
employees depends on market conditions,
business revenue and profitability, workforce
size and how much employers contribute to
employee benefits. Employers have three
basic choices when it comes to establishing
pay rates.
17. Employee Reward - A salary system also
includes the process for rewarding employees
for performance. Pay-for-performance
compensation structures and merit-based
increases are two different types of
compensation structures. Scheduled increases
usually include cost-of-living allowances as well
as differential wages for extended schedules or
hazard pay.
18. Pay Scale - Before the company hires its first
employee, it constructs a pay scale. Pay scales
are subject to change based on production
demands and workforce planning; however,
initial pay scales may be modified once the
business completes the employment process by
hiring its first employees.
19. ELEMENTS AFFECTING WAGE/ SALARY
LEVELS
(1) Labour Unions : The labour unions attempt to
work and influence the wages primarily by
regulating or affecting the supply of labour.
(2) Personal perception of wage : Whether the
wage is adequate and equitable depends not only
upon the amount that is paid but upon the
perceptions and the views of the also recipients
of the wage.
20. (3) Cost of living : Another important factor
affecting the wage is the cost of living
adjustments of wages. It is an essential
ingredient of long term labour contracts unless
provision is made to reopen the wage clause
periodically.
(4) Government legislation : The laws passed
and the labour policies formed by the
Government have an important influence on
wages and salaries paid by the employees.
Wages and salaries can’t be fixed below the
level prescribed by the government.
21. (5) Ability to pay : Labour unions have often
demanded an increase in wages on the basis that
the firm is prosperous and able to pay. If the
firm is highly successful, there is little need to
pay for more than the competitive rates to obtain
personnel.
(6) Supply and demand :-
The practical result of the
operation of this law of
supply and demand is the
creation of “going- wage rate”.
22. (7) Productivity : Productivity is the key factor in
the operations of a company. High wages and
low costs are possible only when productivity
increases appreciably.
