Decisions There are major decisions in setting externally competitive pay and designing the corresponding pay structures. Access text alternative for this image. 2
3.
© McGraw-Hill Education Specify
Competitive Pay Policy Translating any external pay policy into practice requires information on the external market. • Surveys provide the data for translating that policy into pay levels, pay mix, and structures. • A survey is the systematic process of collecting and making judgments about the compensation paid by other employers. 3
4.
© McGraw-Hill Education The
Purpose of a Survey An employer conducts or participates in a survey for a number of reasons. • To adjust the pay level in response to changing rates paid by competitors. • To set the mix of pay forms relative to that paid by competitors. • To establish or price a pay structure. • To analyze pay-related problems. • Or, to estimate the labor costs of product/service market competitors. 4
5.
© McGraw-Hill Education The
Purpose of a Survey Adjust Pay Level—How Much to Pay? Most organizations make adjustments to employees’ pay on a regular basis – adjustments may be based on: • The overall movement of pay rates caused by the competition for people in the market. • Performance. • Ability to pay. • Terms specified in a contract. 5
6.
© McGraw-Hill Education The
Purpose of a Survey Adjust Pay Mix—What Forms? Adjustments to the pay mix and the relative importance placed on each form occurs less frequently than adjustments to overall pay level. • Perhaps the high cost of redesigning a different mix creates a barrier. • Perhaps inertia prevails. • More likely, insufficient attention has been devoted to mix decisions. The mix organizations use may have been based on external pressures. • Some pay forms may affect employee behavior more than others. • Good information on total compensation is increasingly important. 6
7.
© McGraw-Hill Education The
Purpose of a Survey Adjust Pay Structure? Many employers use market surveys to validate job evaluation results. • The job structure that results from internal job evaluation may not match competitors’ pay structures in the external market. • Reconciling these two pay structures is a major issue. Rather than integrating an internal and external structure, employers may go straight to market surveys to establish their internal structures. • Such “market pricing” mimics competitors’ pay structures. • Accurate information and informed judgment are vital for making all these decisions. 7
8.
© McGraw-Hill Education The
Purpose of a Survey Study Special Situations Information from specialized surveys can shed light on specific pay- related problems. • A special study may focus on a targeted group such as patent attorneys, retail sales managers, secretaries, or software engineers. • Unusual increases in an employer’s turnover in specific jobs may require focused surveys to find out if market changes are occurring. 8
9.
© McGraw-Hill Education The
Purpose of a Survey Estimate Competitors’ Labor Costs Survey data are used as part of employers’ broader efforts to gather “competitive intelligence.” • Companies seek to examine (that is, benchmark) practices costs, including in the area of compensation. One source of publicly available labor cost data is the Employment Cost Index (ECI) - published regularly by the Department of Labor. • The index allows a firm to compare changes in its average costs to an all-industry or specific-industry average. • However, this comparison may have limited value because industry averages may not reflect relevant competitors. 9
10.
© McGraw-Hill Education Select
Relevant Market Competitors Define a relevant labor market that includes employers who compete in one or more of the following areas: • The same occupations or skills. • Employees within the same geographic area. • The same products and services. Some argue that if the skills are tied to a particular industry, it makes sense to define the market on an industry basis. • From the perspective of cost control and ability to pay, including competitors in the product/service market is crucial. • This becomes a problem when the major competitors are based in countries with far lower pay rates, such as China or Mexico. • Even with good international survey data, judgment is still required. 10

8.3 Relevant Labor Markets by Geographic and Employee Groups As the importance and complexity of the qualifications increase, the geographic limits also increase. Access text alternative for this image. 11
12.
© McGraw-Hill Education Fuzzy
Markets New organizations and jobs fuse together diverse knowledge and experience, so “relevant” markets appear more like “fuzzy” markets. A company may combine technology, media, and commerce into one company. • What is the relevant labor market? • Which firms should be included in their surveys? 12
13.
© McGraw-Hill Education Design
the Survey Consulting firms offer a wide choice of ongoing surveys covering almost every job family and industry group imaginable. • Their surveys are getting better and better, likely due to improvements in technology. Designing a survey requires answering the following questions. • Who should be involved in the survey design? • How many employers should be included? • Which jobs should be included? • What information should be collected? 13
14.
© McGraw-Hill Education Design
the Survey Who Should Be Involved? In most organizations, the responsibility for managing the survey lies with the compensation manager, but including managers and employees makes sense. Outside consulting firms are typically used as third-party protection from possible “price- fixing” lawsuits. Identifying participants’ data by company name is considered price fixing. 14
15.
© McGraw-Hill Education Design
the Survey How Many Employers? There are no firm rules on how many employers to include in a survey. • National surveys conducted by consulting firms often include more than 100 employers. In the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is the major source of publicly available compensation data. • The data are often not specific enough to be used alone. The quality of some salary data on the web is unclear. • There are some good exceptions, such as Salary.com and Glassdoor. Many firms select one survey as their primary source and use others to cross-check or “validate” the results. • Without reliability and validity metrics, survey data are open to challenge. 15
16.
© McGraw-Hill Education Design
the Survey Which Jobs to Include? Benchmark-Job Approach. • If the purpose of the survey is to price the entire structure, then benchmark jobs can be selected to include the entire structure. Low-High Approach. • For skill-competency-based structures or generic job descriptions, market data must be converted to fit the structure. • The simplest way is identify the lowest- and highest-paid benchmark jobs for the relevant skills in the relevant market and use the wages as anchors for the skill-based structure. Benchmark Conversion/Survey Leveling. • In cases where a job does not match a job in the salary survey, an employer may quantify the difference via benchmark conversion. • If an organization uses job evaluation, then its job evaluation system can be applied to the survey jobs. 16
17.
© McGraw-Hill Education Design
the Survey What Information to Collect? Organization data reflects the similarities and differences among organizations in the survey. • Metrics of organization performance such as turnover and revenues are being collected. Total compensation data is required to assess the total pay package and competitors’ practices – three alternatives are the most common. • Base pay. • Total cash (base, profit sharing, bonuses). • And total compensation (total cash plus benefits and perquisites). 17
18.
© McGraw-Hill Education EXHIBIT
8.10 Advantages and Disadvantages of Measures of Compensation Base pay Tells how competitors are valuing the work in similar jobs Fails to include performance incentives and other forms, so will not give true picture if competitors offer low base but high incentives. Total cash (base + bonus) Tells how competitors are valuing work; also tells the cash pay for performance opportunity in the job All employees may not receive incentives, so it may overstate the competitors' pay; plus, it does not include long-term incentives. Total compensation (base + bonus + stock options + stock awards + benefits) Tells the total value competitors place on this work All employees may not receive all the forms. Be careful: Don't set base equal to competitors' total compensation. Risks high fixed costs. 18

8.11 Pay Survey Results for Different Measures of Compensation Access text alternative for this image. 19

© McGraw-Hill Education Interpret
Survey Results and Construct a Market Line Verify Data A common first step is to check the accuracy of the job matches, and then check for anomalies, age of data, and the nature of the organizations. Accuracy of Match (and Improving the Match). • For jobs that match perfectly, things are easy. • If a company job is similar but not identical, some companies use the benchmark conversion/survey leveling approach. Anomalies. • Does any one company dominate? • Do all employers show similar patterns? • Are there outliers? • The best way to answer questions on anomalies is to do an analysis of them alone. 20
21.
© McGraw-Hill Education Interpret
Survey Results and Construct a Market Line Statistical Analysis The statistics necessary to analyze survey data includes regression. Frequency Distribution. • Frequency distributions help visualize information and may highlight anomalies, or outliers. • Shapes of frequency distribution can vary. Central Tendency. • A measure of central tendency reduces a large amount of data into a single number. • The distinction between “mean” and “weighted mean” is important. Variation. • Distribution of rates around a measure of central tendency is variation. • Quartiles and percentiles are measures used in salary survey analysis. 21

Survey Results and Construct a Market Line Update the Survey Data Pay data are usually updated to forecast the competitive rates for the future date when the pay decisions will be implemented. The amount to update is based on several factors, including labor trends, economic outlook, and judgment, among others. Access text alternative for this image. 23

a Market Pay Line A market line links benchmark jobs (x- axis) with market rates paid by competitors (y-axis). It summarizes the distribution of going rates in the market. Regression generates a straight line that best fits the data by minimizing variance around the line. Access text alternative for this image. 24

a Pay Market Line Using Regression Analysis Regression analysis uses the formula for a straight line: y = a + bx, where: • y = dollars; • x = job evaluation points; • a = the y value at which x = 0; • And b = the slope of the regression line. Access text alternative for this image. 25

Pay for Benchmark and Non-Benchmark Jobs Setting pay for benchmark jobs is straightforward to the degree that good matches with survey jobs are found. For non-benchmark jobs, the market pay lines are especially useful. • Job J has 100 job evaluation points and matches a survey job, Eng5, with base pay of $90,876. • One approach is to pay Job Z 110/100 × $90,876 = $99,964. • Or, use the market survey line regression equation y = 15522.56 + 753.54x. There is no “right way” to analyze survey data. 26

Internal Structure and External Market Rates The internally aligned structure is shown on the horizontal (x) axis. The external competitive data are shown on the vertical (y) axis. These two components come together in the pay structure which has two aspects: the pay- policy line and pay ranges. Access text alternative for this image. 27

Policy to Practice: The Pay-Policy Line Several ways to translate external competitive policy into practice. • Choice of measure - a company can use a specific percentile for base pay and another for total compensation as measures in its regression. • Updating – using a match, lead/lag, or lead policy. Policy line as a percent of market line. • A company may specify a percent above or below the regression line and their pay-policy line would carry out a policy statement. • An employer might lead by including only a few top-paying competitors in the analysis. • Or lead for some job families and lag for others. • If the practice does not match the policy, then employees receive the wrong message. 28

Policy to Practice: Grades and Ranges The next step is to design pay grades and pay ranges. • Grades and ranges offer flexibility to deal with pressures from external markets and differences among organizations. • A pay range exists whenever two or more rates are paid to employees in the same job. • The range reflects the differences in performance or experience that an employer wishes to recognize with pay. • An employee with consistently high performance ratings should move above the market median and range midpoint. 29

Policy to Practice: Grades and Ranges Establish Range Midpoints, Minimums, and Maximums The first step is to group different jobs that are considered substantially equal for pay purposes into a grade. • Each grade will have its own pay range, and all the jobs within a single grade will have the same pay range. Grades group job evaluation data on the x-axis; ranges group salary data on the y-axis. • Ranges set upper and lower pay limits for all jobs in each grade. • A range has a midpoint, a minimum, and a maximum. • Range spread is maximum pay/minimum pay – 1. 30

Policy to Practice: Grades and Ranges Overlap (and Midpoint Progression) The size of differentials between grades should support career movement through the structure. • Optimal overlap between grades ought to be large enough to induce employees to seek promotion into a higher grade. • Not all employers use grades and ranges.

Policy to Practice: Broad Banding Broad banding, consolidates traditional grades into a single band with one minimum and one maximum – there are several advantages. Broad bands are often combined with more traditional practices by using midpoints, “zones,” or other control points within bands. Banding takes two steps: set the number of bands and price the bands.

Policy to Practice: Broad Banding Flexibility-Control Broad banding encourages employees to seek growth and development by moving cross-functionally – say from purchasing to finance. • The assumption is that this cross-fertilization of ideas will benefit the organization. • Hence, career moves within bands are more common than between bands. • The principal payoff of broad banding is this flexibility. • But flexibility is one side of the coin; chaos and favoritism is the other. 33

Internal and External Pressures: Adjusting the Pay Structure A job structure orders jobs on the basis of internal factors (reflected in job evaluation or skill certification). • The pay structure is anchored by the organization’s external competitive position and reflected in its pay-policy line. The order in which jobs are ranked on internal versus external factors may not agree. • When reconciling differences, managers weigh external market data more heavily than internal job evaluation data. • Sometimes, differences arise because a shortage of a particular skill has driven up the market rate. 34

Pricing Market pricing sets pay almost exclusively on external market rates. • Market prices match a large percentage of their jobs with market data and collect as much market data as possible. • The objective of market pricing is to base most, if not all, of the internal pay structure on external rates. Pure market pricing ignores internal alignment completely. • How much or what mix of forms a company pays is no longer a potential source of competitive advantage. • Any unique aspects of the organization’s pay structure are deemphasized by market prices. • In contrast, an organization may choose to differentiate its pay strategy from that of its competitors to better execute its own strategy. • Balancing internal and external pressures is a matter of judgment. 35
