Task J

Does this pay structure make good business sense? Do you think it is consistent with the organization’s business strategy?

 

I think this pay structure makes good business sense. Based on required education level, technical skills and problem solving, job positions are divided in justified pay grades. Employees get paid based on their abilities and their experience. Pay structure is consistent with the organization’s business strategy, based on the description of the case study the organization has created a customized technically engineering plan for the regional clients. Also, this pay structure leaves space for improvement and changes if needed.

 

 What are the implications of this pay structure for other HR systems, such as retention and recruiting?

 

This pay structure should lend well to employee retention. The pay grades are based on what the employee has to offer. The employees can see as they move up in the company they get paid for their additional efforts. Also, the company is paying 3% more than other companies in the region. This will for sure impact the recruiting. More employees will apply for the job positions and new employees are more likely to stay wit
