Review a salary structure, in 3-4 pages, for the company and job you used in the previous assessments.
Introduction
Along with the job analysis and job evaluation, companies must determine how they will structure their pay and which model is the most appropriate for their company. Companies also have to consider the competitive position of their pay policy. As an HR professional, it is important to understand the different pay structures, and the process of gathering and interpreting data to determine a competitive pay position. What does it mean to be competitive and pay a salary that is not only internally equitable, but is also externally effective at attracting and retaining the appropriate labor force for your business? This assessment challenges you to consider all the issues that go into that decision making.
