    This Statement revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by FASB Statements No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. This Statement retains the disclosure requirements contained in FASB Statement No. 132, Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, which it replaces. It requires additional disclosures to those in the original Statement 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The required information should be provided separately for pension plans and for other postretirement benefit plans.…

    According FASB, compensation plans include all arrangements by which employees receive shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer or the employer incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of the employer’s stock. Compensation cost should be measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period, under the fair value based method. Compensation costs are recognized for other types of stock-based compensation plans under Opinion 25, including plans with variable, usually performance-based, features. Some stock-based compensation plans require an employer to pay an employee, either on demand or at a specified date, a cash amount determined by the increase in the employer’s stock price from a specified level. An entity must measure compensation cost for that award in the amount of the changes in the stock price in the periods in which the changes occur. Regarding stock options, fair value is determined using an option-pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the volatility of the underlying stock and the expected dividends on it, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. Under the provisions of the statement 123 of the FASB it is a requirement that companies report stock options on the income statement as an expense. The provision was revised in 2005 due to the prior issues dealing with overstated income on financial statement.…

    The current system used by the NAHARC is estimated to have been used for well over 35 years. As a result, the system has adapted to the different changes over the years. These changes have made the system increasingly complex and cumbersome and thereby too difficult to change. NAHARC plans to incorporate a new integrated benefits system as a solution that will fill business needs of all the departments and staff of NAHARC, including their customers. This administration is based on a capability study NAHARC performed from January 2013 to January 2014 and the RFP that developed from the study, done in conjunction with Hickson and Hickson…

    Prior to adoption of the Revised IAS 19, the Group recognized actuarial gains and losses as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized gains and losses for each individual plan at the end of the previous period exceeded 10% of the higher of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets and recognized unvested past service costs as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average vesting period until the benefits become vested. Upon adoption of the revised IAS 19, the Group changed its accounting policy to recognize all actuarial gains and losses in other comprehensive income and all past service costs in profit or loss in the period they occur.…

    December 16, 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 123, Shared- Based Statement, which took the place of Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and replaced Accounting Principal Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock issued to Employees. Share-based payment is “a transaction in which the entity receives or acquires goods or services either as consideration for its equity instruments or by incurring liabilities for amounts based on the price of the entity 's shares or other equity instruments of the entity. The accounting requirements for the share-based payment depend on how the transaction will be settled, that is, by the issuance of (a) equity, (b) cash, or (c) equity or cash” (Deloitte, 2010). Statement No 123 covers a variety of compensation agreements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Shared-based payment will give financier and other financial statement users with additional comprehensive and unbiased financial information by having the reimbursement cost relate to the share-based payment documented on the financial statement. This cost is measured by the fair value of the company’s equity or liability tools issued. “This Statement is the result of a two-year effort to respond to requests from investors and many others that the FASB improve the accounting for share-based payment arrangements with employees” (Financial Accounting Standards Board, 2004).…

    There are five considerations to take into account when designing a benefit’s program they are as follows: 1) are the type and level of our benefits coverage consistent with our long-term strategic business plans?, 2) given the characteristics of our workforce, are we meeting the needs of our employees?, 3) what legal requirements must we satisfy in the benefits we offer?, 4)are our benefits competitive in cost, structure, and value to employees and their dependents?, and 5) is our benefits package consistent with the key objectives of our total compensation strategy, namely, adequacy, equity, cost control, and balance? Another important factor is since there is a lot of long term employees that came over from EnvroTech means we have a diverse workforce and to some benefits may be more important to them such a pension plans rather than direct pay.…

    A great sales team and the right compensation plan to keep sales people motivated is critical to helping business grow and prosper (Daniel, 2008). InterClean will create a new compensation plan and the goal is to reward sales success while motivating increased sales performance and providing a competitive, yet affordable reward levels. Rewards bridge the gap between organizational objectives and individual expectations and aspirations. To be effective, the new reward system will provide (1) a sufficient level of rewards to fulfill basic needs, (2) equity with external labour market, (3) equity within the organization, and (4) treatment of each member of the organization in terms of his or her individual needs (Casio, 2005). The compensation plan will be tied to the company`s strategic mission which means that a combination of merit system (designed to tie pay increases to each employee`s level of performance) and incentive system (designed to provide additional rewards to top performers) will be used. The broad objective of the design of this compensation strategy (i.e., financial and non-financial compensation) is to integrate salary and benefits into a package that will encourage the achievement of the organization`s objective (Casio, 2005). The new rewards package will consist of two components:…
