Compensation > Salary Administration 
Salary Administration 

Organizations can only get things done through people.  One of the keys to positively motivated behavior is the reward system.  To ensure positive motivation, monetary rewards must compensate employees equitably for their contribution to the success of the company.

Therefore, it is the objective of modern companies to establish and maintain a Salary Administration Policy that will:

  • Attract, retain and reward qualified personnel at all levels of responsibility
  • Be externally competitive based on annual profitability and internally consistent and equitable
  • Motivate employees to work toward the achievement of the company's goals
  • Foster good employee understanding and relationships by providing opportunities for personal growth and monetary advancement on the basis of demonstrated performance
  • Comply with existing laws

An effective Salary Administration System consists of the following basic elements:

  1. Written job descriptions or position profiles
  2. A formal job evaluation system
  3. Salary structures, salary ranges or broad bands
  4. Compensation surveys and market analysis
  5. A performance management process
  6. Written administrative policies and procedures
