E-COMPENSATIONPresented by: Manidipa

What is E-compensation?Compensation is the total reward received by an employee in

exchange for services performed for an organization. It can include both direct pay (salary and wages) and indirect pay (benefits programme).

The e-Compensation systems are those software packages which are bought or developed by companies and are accessible through the company’s intranet or over the internet which all the employees would be able to reach it through browsers from anywhere (in case of internet).

Cont…A formal compensation administration program is the basic

management tool for ensuring that employees are satisfied, that both internal and external equity are maintained, and that control is maintained over compensation costs. Such a program will help attract top talent, retain core employees, and encourage longevity while efficiently using financial resources.

Establishing an effective compensation administration program requires job analysis, job evaluation, and job pricing. Once established, it is important to maintain and update the following aspects of the program: salary banding, employee classification, salary increases, performance appraisals, and longevity increases.

How it was started?During 1980s and early 1990s spreadsheets had been used to

manage compensation information of the employees (for each manager one spreadsheet including its subordinates data) which had been static (changes in data as bottleneck), and time-consuming -months of efforts (Wright, 2003).

In 1990s client-server applications replaced. These applications were customizely and expensively developed based on company’s requirement and were needed to be installed on each manager’s computer separately which all these made it difficult to adopt with varying conditions of the market easily.

Cont…Late 1990s was an outset for a developmental migration to the

browsers instead of client-server applications by introducing intranets which provided a centrally distributed application with an ability to be updated readily without any dependency on the manager’s computer (Wright, 2003).

In 2000 Barber and Bretz found the pay is an important factor in both job choice and turnover decisions by employees and from that time salary has been used as a lever to attract, retain and motivate employees.
