BUS 434 Week 3 Assignment Employee Relations Manager Paper
The most effective compensation strategy is one that develops a clear link between:
Work that an employee is expected to perform (typically detailed in the job description);
Work that the employee performed (typically detailed in a performance evaluation);
and, finally, pay provided to each employee (typically determined through external survey and internal equity).
In a 2-3 page paper, examine and elaborate on the interrelationship between these three links. In presenting your analysis, it would be beneficial to:
Select one position or classification that you are familiar with (Administrative Assistant, Human Resource Manager, Maintenance Worker, etc);
Detail how pay is determined for this position or classification based on the duties they are expected to perform (job description) and the manner in which they performed these duties (performance evaluation).
Here’s an example:
