MANAGEMENT OF COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT AT PACKAGES
Every body works deliberately towards the environment for getting the reward. Different things motivates different sort of people.  For some people money matters  On the other hand for others verbal appraisal is of great importance.  One of the most important thing which motivates majority of people is “money”.  “ Pay” in the other words.
Cont.... Managing of benefits and compensation is a very essential and important both for the employees and employer.  Its not an easy task to retain and maintain the skilled and capable employees.  Compensation managers have to manage this program in such a way which makes employees not only to stay longer with the organization but also improves productivity.
ESTABLISHING PAY RATES   AT PACKAGES
Establishing Pay Rates  It  is a very tricky and important phenomena. Packages considered all the internal and external factors like companies Market position, its resources, company’s year performance and progress after viewing all these factors pays has  been decided and they tend to satisfied every employees needs and expectations Induction Salary Workers  Min    7000/- per month Skilled workers Min    8000/- per month Executive Min  20,000/- per month
Traditional Bases for Pay at Packages There are two types of traditional bases for pay Seniority pay system   Seniority pay system reward employees with additions to base pay periodically according to employee’s length of service performing their job.  Merit pay system Merit pay programs assure that employees compensation over time should be determined, at least in part by differences in job performance.
Bases for Pay  Cont.... Most of the firms now-a-days using  merit pay system so do PACKAGES. Merit pay system has many advantages  It rewards individual achievement People motivated when they were recognized.  Its very good both for the employee and employers People start working more effectively if they know that their pay has been decided on the bases of their performance.  That's why this pay system has been used in packages.
Bases for Pay  Cont........ Seniority pay system has also been used in packages but only for the exceptional case who work for the organization for so many years and put extra effort and was very loyal so in those case seniority pay system can be used.
INCENTIVE OR VARIABLE PAY PLANS  AT PACKAGES
Incentive or Variable Pay Plans Incentive pay or variable pay rewards employees for partially or completely attaining a predetermined work objective.  Companies use incentive pay to reward individual employees , teams of employees, or overall companies based on their performance.  Unfortunately in packages incentive or variable pay plans are not so developed and company only  provides with  bonuses  to their employees on their performance.
Incentive cont.... All confirmed employees avail annual bonuses.  The criteria for the bonuses is that company give bonuses maximum 7 multiply with their base salary  The bonuses has been given twice a year in January and in august most probably. Its on the base of individual incentive plans, concept of group incentive plan is not much used in packages.
Incentive cont.... For example if someone’s salary  is 9000 and get bonus 6 on its base salary then  9000 x 6=54000 will be the bonus of that person.  But again its performance base so getting the 6 or 7 is not an easy task employees performance has been observed and evaluate very keenly. Many incentive plans apply to other categories of employees including sales professionals, managers, and executives
Incentives for Operation Employees Operations employees are the people who actually do the work. The  most widely used incentive for operational employees plan is the PIECE WORK PLAN. In this plan worker is paid a piece rate for each unit he or she produces. Other is straight piecework in which a person is paid a sum for each item he or she makes or sells. In packages these sort of incentives some times used but not frequently  Its been used when there is urgent need for more production etc.
Incentives for Managers and Executives Managers play a central role n influencing divisional and corporate profitability Most firms therefore put considerable thought into how to reward them.  Most managers get short-term bonuses and long-term incentives in addition to salary.
SHORT TERM INCENTIVES  AT PACKAGES
Short Term Incentives The Annual Bonuses: Packages use this incentive plan for motivating the short term performance of managers and executives.  There are 3 basic issues to considered where awarding short-term incentives:  Eligibility,  Fund size and  Individual award.  Packages strictly follow this pattern.
Short Term Incentives Cont…. Eligibility: In packages like most other firms they include both top and lower level managers and mainly decided who’s eligible in one of two ways.  The size of the bonuses varies because bonuses is on your base salary so top managers who’s base salary is more than the lower will get more bonus then the lower.  This techniques has been used in packages.
Short Term Incentives Cont…. Fund Size The firms must also decide the total amount of bonuses money to make available fund size.  Some use a  nondeductible formula,  they use the straight percentage usually of the company’s net income to create the short term incentive fund.  Others use a  deductible formula  on the assumption that the fund should start to accumulate only after a firm has met a specified level of earnings.  Packages uses the nondeductible formula but it has been viewed that some times bonuses has been deducted on the bases of less profit.
Short Term Incentives Cont…. Individual Award After reviewing the above two factor then performance has been evaluated and then decided that which person is eligible for how much bonuses. Typically a target bonus is set for each eligible position and the actual award reflects the persons performance.
