Surgery Clinic, offers its employees a robust compensation package, specified in some cases directly to the position in which an employee holds. With a blend of job-based pay and person-focused pay, the employees can either hone their skills for additional merit or be rewarded for competencies they already bring to the organization.
Nurses, Medical Assistants, Business Supervisors, Referral Specialists, Authorization Specialists, Medical Office Specialists, and Procedural Schedulers all receive merit-based pay. Merit reviews are conducted during the Mid-Year Review, and the Annual Review. Unlike traditional appraisals which occur on an annual basis, we also offer informal coaching sessions and pulse checks on a quarterly basis. This has been a long-standing practice for the organization as it has been noted that with a traditional performance management system, “…95% of managers are dissatisfied with their performance management system and 90% of HR managers believe the system does not yield accurate performance information” (Lussier, 2018).
Our CEO, Nurse Manager, Clinic Manager, HR Manager, Nurse Navigator, and Clinical Supervisor all receive person focused - competency based pay. These positions are considered managerial, and professional. These roles are crucial in supporting the strategy of the organization, clinic leadership annually reviews the competency-based pay plan to re-identify core competencies – evaluating if they are still meaningful to the business (LinkedIn, 2017).
Presenter: Karla
Our team relies heavily on a job analysis worksheet to obtain specific information regarding each role, observations, and questionnaire. The job analysis worksheet identifies, the job title, whom the role reports too, the objectives and scope of the role, the work environment, work schedule, total hours per week the role is scheduled, and the tasks, roles and/or responsibilities of the role (LinkedIn, 2017). When reviewing the tasks, roles, or responsibilities each task’s deliverables, frequency, and importance is also evaluated (LinkedIn, 2017).
Presenter: Karla
The most effective job analysis technique, if feasible, is to collect information directly from the most qualified job incumbent(s) via an open-ended or highly structured questionnaire.
Active observations are the preferred method of observing employees for the purpose of the job analysis. The observations looks at what problems are being solved, how the employee acts, troubleshoots, and what tools they use. The observation is conducted by HR and they work with the employee by asking relevant questions to better understand the role. Its typical to expect delays in processes when an observation is being conducted.
Afterward, HR compiles data from job analysis worksheet, observation and questionnaire, verifies market salary data through third party system, such as the Economic Research Institute (ERI), and works with the Supervisor to determine compensation for the role.
Rachel will discuss further how our job evaluations help shape our compensation system.
Presenter: Rachel
Job evaluations help align the values of the organization, identify important factors, and establishes pay differentials. The steps on the slide are common steps that an organization will follow to establish a job evaluation systems.
Determine type of evaluation: The Clinic will use the point method, which I will describe more in detail on the next slide. SHRM defines the point method as a quantitative technique that “breaks down jobs into compensable factors identified during a job analysis. Points are assigned to the factors, and a pay structure is established for the position”. The point method system is important to the clinic because it ensures that jobs are evaluated properly and pay is assigned fairly.
Choosing the job evaluation committee: As the company is small, the job evaluation committee is small. The committee is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, the Human Resource Business Manager, and the Clinic Manager. The Clinic also contracts with a 3rd party compensation in order to help establish the criteria for each position and to create an unbiased process. This helps maintain checks and balances to ensure a fair process.
Training employees to conduct job evaluations: This step is not as important because the committee is small and there is expertise within the 3rd party contractor.
Documenting the job evaluation plan: The plan is part of HR procedure and can be referenced when questions arise from staff.
Communication with employees: The job evaluation committee will communicate changes in pay through the managers. If needed, the committee will also share process information through emails or during a all staff meeting.
Setting up appeals process: case by case basis and will be reviewed by the same employees on the job evaluation committee
Presenter: Rachel
The Clinic will employ the following compensable factors: education, experience, responsibility, and working conditions. They can be applied to each position within the organization. Because excellent patient care is valued, the clinic has weighted education and experience highest at 30% apiece. In addition to professional consulting services, the Clinic will also utilize O*Net to ensure that appropriate levels of each factor are being considered for the minimum required for each position. The maximum number of points is 1000. The maximum number of points is possible per compensable factor:
Education – 300 points
Experience – 300 points
Responsibility – 200 points
Working conditions – 200 points

At the Clinic we offer all full-time employees several benefit options for their medical, dental, vision, prescription coverage care. Including an HDHP and PPO option for medical coverage both offered by Anthem BCBS. To assist employees with the cost of insurance, if an employee chooses to enroll in the HDHP, Surgery Clinic will contribute $500 into an employee’ HSA account in two lump sums, $250 in January and $250 in July of the calendar year for employees enrolled in employee only coverage. $1,000 will be contributed into an employee’s HSA account for all other coverage levels in two lump sums, $500 in January and $500 in July of the calendar year. Employees do not need to contribute to their account in order to receive this benefit, they only need to open the account with the HSA provider.
These providers were strategically selected in order to provide employees with in-network benefits, to limit out of pocket costs, which highlights our strategy to continuously improve the accessibility of the services for both clients and employees . It was also negotiated that the medical provider would offer 24/7 online telehealth access included in the service agreement.
Presenter: Karla
Here we can see the breakdown of benefits for the HDHP and the PPO plan. The best way to explain the difference to employees is typically the HDHP comes with a slightly higher deductible and no copays, however the company offers payment assistance by contributing to the employee’s HSA accounts. Some employees enjoy this plan as they have more control over what they spend when seeking medical care.
The PPO plan comes with a lower deductible, and co-pays for most services, however there is no cost sharing option such as FSA available with this option. An FSA is similar in nature to the HSA.
Both plans cover preventative care at 100% and Prenatal care is partially covered.
Next, Tatiana will discuss the Clinic’s Retirement Benefits.

Presenter: Rachel
Discretionary benefits are not legally required. According to a 2021 UBC Insurance blog post, “discretionary benefits can help you foster a positive relationship with your employees. A generous package can help both attract and retain top talent.” The UBC Insurance blog continues to say that it is important to know what employees want and that 30% of employees would accept a lower net paycheck if it meant they could access better employee benefits.
The Surgery Clinic has a growth strategy that is supported by an excellent organization culture. Discretionary benefits are an important component to the organizational culture. The Clinic has benefits in each of the previously states benefit categories.
Presenter: Rachel
The Clinic offers various benefits in each category.
Protection – the company pays for short term disability insurance and life insurance. Short term disability insurance will cover 60% of base salary for up to 6 weeks. Employees can opt in to LT disability insurance at their own cost.
PTO – the PTO accrual summary is on the next slide
Services – the 2 main benefits offered in this category is tuition reimbursement and a condensed work week.
Presenter: Rachel
Tuition reimbursement highlights -
- must be job related
- achieve grade B or higher
- up to $12,500 per year
