Small State University is facing the dilemma of how to allocate the $17,400 that the state agreed to give to the management department. Each qualified candidate’s employment information is given to help determine the merit raise decision. Before the decision can finalize, research and analysis will be conducted. A case solution will include the implementation of management approval, budget recommendations, communication and essential steps of the new policy to the university, and fair distribution of merit raise.…

In fact, almost all the cases have been in the central sector, though most of the employments covered area in the state sectors.…

Many students who have graduated college are struggling to find jobs in their field of study. Graduates often do not reap the benefits they should when they are in their field of study, often losing thousands of dollars along with time are wasted. Businesses and corporations are paying newly hired graduates forty-five percent less than the state average pay. The reason graduates aren’t getting high paying jobs is due to the economy and the increase in technology. Jobs are being taken over by the progression of the 21st century technology and economic background.…
Put yourself in the shoes of a twenty three year old. They have just graduated with their bachelor's degree. They do not have to worry about school any longer, no longer have to attend classes, or worry about not remembering the answer to a question on an exam.However, their debt in student loans will follow them until they are in their mid fourties. They will not want to eat stably, purchase good clothes. They may miss electricity bills, or struggle to keep a cheap apartment as it is. They will struggle to survive, not to live, all because they need to get all of the debts that they are swimming in, paid as quickly as possible, just so that they can start living their life. While people may believe that this will cost society more money, when it comes to college level education, I believe that all tuition and fees should be covered by the government, all the way to a phd.…
An unresolved problem that I wish to investigate during my undergraduate years is the lack of equal pay for equal work in American society. In 1963, John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into effect, making it illegal for employers to discriminate on the basis of sex. Back then women were paid an average of 59 cents for every dollar that a man made and President Kennedy was attempting to shrink the gender wage gap. Unfortunately, his attempts for equal pay have not proven entirely successful because currently women are being paid 84 cents for every dollar and the gap is even greater for women of color. In January of this year, President Obama signed an executive order that forced companies with over 100 employees to disclose to the…
The pay model shown in Exhibit 1.5 serves as both a framework for examining current pay systems and a guide for most of this book. It contains three basic building blocks (1) the compensation objectives, (2) the policies that form the foundation of the compensation system and (3) the techniques that make up the compensation system.…

In our parents' day, salary was generally based on seniority; every employee in a comparable position earned the same, with annual increments and cost-of-living raises. Seniority was rewarded, youthful enthusiasm perhaps not. The obvious drawback to this system was a tendency for long-standing employees to become comfortable with their guaranteed salary and become less motivated. Additionally, there was little incentive for younger - possibly more ambitious and energetic - employees to shine since all they would receive as a reward for their efforts would be a pat on the back and the satisfaction of a job well done unless they shone brightly enough to be awarded a promotion.…

Maintaining excellence in human resource management enhances an organisations value and provides an opportunity to achieve competitive advantage. Managing the employer-employee relationship should incorporate efficiency in areas of recruitment, training and development and the appropriate recognition, reward and remuneration to ensure sustainability and increased profitability for the organisation, through continuing employee retention. Remuneration includes all aspects of financial payments and any other goods, rewards and benefits that an employee may receive in exchange for working for an organisation (Stone 2010). Rewards can either be short term and tied to simple and specific goals that focus within the impending 12 months; or long term rewards that commence beyond one year and are in line with more complex and broader ongoing goals of an organisation (Howe 2011).…
I believe that the company’s pay structure was better suited to its objectives before the pay cut because the pay varied on the complexity of the job but also giving more motivation for the employee to get more work done because of receiving on average a 5% bonus per assignment. Being that Maher was still seeing profit this is an effective way of attracting the best-qualified workers and retaining them. As long as the company was gaining I see that the pay structure was better suited for its objectives before the pay cut. Since the pay was varied from the complexity and length of each assignment, the more skilled or the employee, which took on tougher task, will receive higher pay,…
