1.0 Introduction

Money is no longer the key determinant. Issues such as a motivational work environment, a

compatible work culture and an appropriate work/life balance are more important than money.

If the 90’s was the decade of the customer, the next 10 years are seeing a growing focus on

employees. Leading companies are recognizing that their business goals and the personal needs

of their employees need to coincide and that jobs must deliver value to employees beyond pay

and monetary benefits. Thus, as our course requirement we will try to analyze the strategies that

are implemented in a small firm. As a part of our research, we have considered an international

apparel sourcing company named as ALZ Textile Limited – a Turkish based Bangladesh

production office.

1.1 Scope

The scope of our study was wide as we have to research on a wide area regarding compensation

strategies, though here it is said about only ALZ Textile Limited. The data was collected strictly

for academic purposes only.

1.2 Sources

• For conducting our survey, we followed the Sample Survey method and used a structured

questionnaire to collect the data. The data collected was primary in nature.

• Some secondary data also we have collected for the research purpose.

• From internet, books & newspaper we collect a lot of data which helps a lot to conduct this

research.

• Again our teacher also helps us to provide a lot of valuable information during lectures.

1.3 Limitations

The biggest constraint that we faced was however, the allocation of time and resources to best

meet our needs. Yet we had managed to conduct physical survey at the company for several

times. We had to talk over phone who are presently working at ALZ Textile. However, they

were not willing to provide internal information about their company which is a strong limitation

of our research.

1.4 Methodology

The study primarily used quantitative tools with qualitative information. For quantitative results,

the research design involved causal research by using survey method. The sample size used for

the project is 7 respondents. Data was collected from those respondents who are service holders

in this company at various positions. The collected data was then statistically analyzed for

generating results.

2

Page 3: Hrm 412 Term Paper

2.1 Compensation system

The compensation system results from the allocation, conversion and transfer of a portion of the

income of an organization to its employees for their monetary and in kind claims on goods and

services. Compensation basically is a monetary reward for an employee like salary, wages, and

bonuses. Also backed by non monetary benefits like allowances, insurance and medical services

etc.

Monetary claims on goods and services are wages and salaries paid to an employee in the form

of money or any other form that is quickly and easily transferable to money at the favoritism of

the employee. As medium of exchange, money enables an employee to purchase certain kinds

and amounts of goods and services available in the marketplace. The value of any in kind

payment to a specific employee depends directly on employee perception of it worth.

Compensation management provides step by step approach for designing remuneration system

that recognizes job requirements: employee related knowledge and skill and performance related

incentives that individual, team and work unit and organization performance. Total remuneration

also includes a host of benefits that protect and expend the lifestyle and health of workers and

their families. The total of these contributions by organization represent its labor cost. On the

other hand these costs should contribute to improved employee performance and on the other

hand expended productivity so that an organization can be competitive, as well as profitable in

providing its goods and services within global economy.

2.2 The Reward System

The reward system of an organization includes anything that an employee may value and desire

that the employer is able or willing to offer in exchange for employee contribution. Reward can

be compensation component and non compensation as well. Monetary payments can be the form

of coins paper money or in the less tangible form of checks or credit cards.

3

Page 4: Hrm 412 Term Paper

2.3 Rewarding employees

Reward should be given on the basis of difference between standard goal and actual job performance.

Reward system should be equal for the same level of job position and employee performances.

To reward employee need motivation. For motivation, need performance appraisal system. Performance Management is the integration of performance appraisal systems with broader human resource systems as means of aligning employees’ work behaviors with organization’s goals. Without motivation, no employee feels interest to do the job.

Performance Management should be an ongoing, interactive process that is deigned to enhance employee capability and facilitate productivity.

Organization should have a standard goal of job performance. It can be setup by production measures, personal activities, performance, targets activities etc. And standard job has to be clear to every employee. They will try to achieve that standard goal.

There salary and compensations structure should be more improved to match with present macroeconomics situation of our country. And they can maintain a better living standard.

Before developing the salary structure, organization should consider individual equity, internal equity and external equity, Authority should give some power to employees; so that they motivate, inspire and responsible of some decision making for betterment of the organization.

If they had to work forcefully or all decisions comes from top level; at that time they will not get enjoy doing that work.

Authority should think employee’s career progression goal and feed back.

2.4 Compensation in a knowledge based global Economy

The rise of the global markets over the last two decades of the twentieth century and into the

twenty first century has placed greater stress on organizations regarding their ability to compete

and be profitable. The need to be competitive is critical to all organizations like profit and non

profit, privately owned or government oriented. To be successful, these organizations must

provide high quality goods and services to their clients in a cost effective manner. A major cost

for all organization in providing goods and services is their labor costs. In competitive global

4

Page 5: Hrm 412 Term Paper

economy, all organization must be able to focus on the effective and efficient delivery of the

products they designed to offer. A key factor in promoting effective delivery essential goods and

services in the provision of a performance based remuneration system for all workers. Thus,

today compensation is big factor which needs to be externally competitive and again fair to

employees. It must succeed to attract and retain the potentials, which will drive the organization.

3.3 Compensation Dimensions

There are eight compensation dimensions and ALZ Textile uses all the dimensions. The eight

compensation dimensions are-

I. Pay for work and performance: Pay for work and performance includes money that is

provide in the short term like weekly, monthly and annual bonuses/awards and that permits

employees to pay for and contract for the payment of desired goods and services. ALZ Textile’s

amount of money payments provides to employees normally depends on specific job

requirements. They pay their employee the component like base pay, premiums and differentials,

short-term bonuses, merit pay and certain allowances.

II. Pay for time not worked: The number of hours worked per week and the number of days

worked per year have decreased. Workers have enjoyed more day off with pay for holidays,

longer paid vacations and paid time off for a wide variety of personal reasons. ALZ pays the

employees for time not worked.

III. Loss of job income continuation: Job security is and always has been the primary

consideration for most workers. ALZ Textile assures the employees about their jobs and the

income derived from working will continue until they are ready to retire. ALZ Textile not only

assures them about accident and sickness problem but also assures about personal problems or

interpersonal dynamics problems.

IV. Disability income continuation: The possibility always exists that a worker will incur

health or accident disability because of these disabilities employees are frequently unable to

10

Page 11: Hrm 412 Term Paper

perform their assignment. ALZ Textile gives the facility to their employees by providing

expense continue medical, surgical and hospital bills.

V. Deferred income: Most employees depend on some kind of employer-provided program for

income continuation after retirement. ALZ Textile provides various kinds of program like social

security, employer-provided pension plans, annuities and supplemental income plans provide

income after retirements.

VI. Spouse income continuation: Most employees with family obligations are concerned with

what might happen if they are no longer able to provide money that will allow their families to

only provides income continuation but also pays for goods and services required in overcoming

the illness or disability. They provide a wide variety of insurance plan to assist in paying for this

goods and services.

VIII. Income Equivalent payment: A final set of compensation components may be grouped

under the title of income equivalent payment. Employees usually find them highly desirable and

both employer and employees find certain tax benefit in them. ALZ Textile also maintain the

dimension.

3.4 Non-Compensation System

The other major part of the reward system consists of non-compensation rewards. Non-

compensation rewards are all the situation related reward not included in the compensation

package. ALZ Textile also uses the non-compensation packages. There are six non-

compensation packages. These are:

I. Enhance dignity and satisfaction from work performed: Possibly the least costly and one

of the most powerful rewards an organization can offer to employees is to recognize the person

11

Page 12: Hrm 412 Term Paper

as a useful and valuable contributor. ALZ Textile provides this kind of recognition so that

employees have the feelings of self-worth and pride in making a contribution.

II. Enhance physiological health, intellectual and growth and emotional maturity: ALZ

Textile uses the system by considering the number of hours the employee spends on the jobs, on

travel to and from the work site and off the job in attempting to resolve problems. They give

medical facilities to the employees. They have a good working environment and all the

equipment they use is safe.

III. Promote constructive social relationship with coworkers: An old adage states that “One

man is no man”. There are even more reminders that one human alone is weak. ALZ Textile has

such a worth place environment where trust, fellowship, loyalty and love emanate from the top

level of management to the lower levels of the organization promotes the kinds of social

interaction most people need in order to thrive.

IV. Design jobs that require adequate attention and effort: ALZ Textile gives special

attention to focus on scientific management efforts to specialize work assignments. They design

the job such a way that workers could be taught quickly how to perform a few highly repetitive

tasks. They give main focus on the employees so that the employees never become bored and

dissatisfaction because it hampers their productivity.

V. Allocation sufficient resources to perform work assignments: ALZ gives sufficient

resources to perform work assignments. They produce certain kinds and qualities of output

within a specific time. They know that resources are available to help them meet these demands.

To give the employee available resource and meet their demand the organization must place a

win-win situation.

VI. Offer supportive leadership and management: Supportive leadership and management are

very important for an organization. ALZ Textile focuses on the system. Their followers have

faith in and abide by the actions taken by their leaders. Employees have the faith and trust in

management assist in establishing a workplace environment where job security becomes

12

Page 13: Hrm 412 Term Paper

accepted. They have leaders who have sufficiently flexible with policies, rules and regulations so

that the employee can meet job and no job responsibilities without infringing on the rights and

the opportunities of other employees.

4.1 Point Method – Job Evaluation

Prelude

13

Page 14: Hrm 412 Term Paper

In Point Method, a set of compensable factors are identified for determining the worth of jobs.

Each factor is then divided into levels or degrees which are then assigned points. Each job is

rated using the job evaluation instrument. The points for each factor are summed to form a total

point score for the job. Jobs are then grouped by total point score and assigned to wage/salary

grades so that similarly rated jobs would be placed in the same wage/salary grade.

Methodology

To create point method job evaluation form, firstly we did the Job Analysis at Eastern Overseas

Limited for the position of Executive Director. From the job analysis we got Job Description &

Job Specification.

With the help of the generated Job description & Job Specification, we determined the

following:

Descriptive Brief:

Every organization has a hierarchy of jobs, and each job lies in a certain position in the

hierarchy. Each and every job of the organization needs to be analyzed in order to be

evaluated. Job Evaluation is basically the process of systematically determining the relative

worth of jobs, in order to create a job structure for the organization. In the figure drawn in the

previous page, we have shown the Job Evaluation of General Manager. This job evaluation

has been primed using the Point Method. This method basically has three common

characteristics.1) Compensable Factors 2) Factor degrees numerically scaled 3) Weights

reflecting the relative importance of each factor. The relative value of each job and the

location of the job in the pay structure are determined by the total points assigned to it.

Here, we are evaluating the job of a General Manager which is basically an administrative

job. An Executive Director has the same compensable factors required for all other jobs. We

have allocated a certain percentage against each compensable factor, and the allocation has a

valid reasoning.

Firstly, we start off with the skill needed in case of an Executive director. A degree of 4 has

been assigned to the ability required of an Executive director. The reason for this is an

Executive director needs to have the capability to be prepared mentally and cognitively to

handle the situation as per demand arises But in case of knowledge & Education as well as

experience, we have assigned a degree of 2 because in case of these mentioned factor the

position holder requires the set up standard of the factors. As both Knowledge & education,

experience have been assigned equal weights of 5%, so by multiplying the degrees with the

weights we get a total mark of 40 in case of ability and 10 in case of both knowledge &

education as well as Experience.

Then we have responsibility as our next compensable factor. Here we have allocated 50%

because an Executive director has a lot of responsibilities on his/her shoulder. Firstly when

talking about the functional responsibilities we have set a degree of 4, because while playing

the monitoring & decision maker role he needs to be well informed about the day to day

activities conducting all over the organization. Again in case of Supervisory responsibilities a

degree of 4 has been allocated because he has to perform lots of activities as supervisor as

well as consultant.

22

Page 23: Hrm 412 Term Paper

Next we have effort as important compensable factor. We have allocated a certain percentage

to this factor, as more effort is required of an Executive Director. An Executive Director

needs to be mentally fit in order to take decisions, formulate policy & so forth. So here the

sub factor mental effort is allocated 10% and 5% is allocated to physical effort. The measure

in degree lays more in the mental effort rather than physical effort. Ultimately, the total point

in case of mental effort is 40, and in case of physical effort it results in 5.

Finally when taking the working condition as a compensable factor into consideration, we

have allocated 15%, we have allocated same weight for the three sub factor which is 5% for

each at the same time set same degree which is 1 as the job position is such that it doesn’t

sustain much sensitive issues in the working environment.

As a consequence we can state that the total marks allotted in case of an Executive Director

while evaluating their job is far more than other jobs of the same range. A score of 320 reflects

the importance of the job, and can help in evaluation while comparing with other jobs.

4.2 Performance apparisal

Performance appraisal data & information are used for making decisions in the following major

areas:

• Organizational & human resource planning

• Employee tanning & development

• Compensation administration

• Employee movement

• Validation of selection process

Performance Appraisal: A Cost- effectiveness Analysis

In performance appraisal time problem can exist. Not only must job content can identified, but

now time is required by the rater(supervisor) & rate(incumbent) in defining & prioritizing job

duties & establishing performance dimensions & performance standards. Performance appraisal

has a strong “dissatisfaction” component because in some manner (not necessarily logical,

rational. systematic, justifiable, or explainable). The strength of universally applicable or generic

performance appraisal instruments is that it does the following:

23

Page 24: Hrm 412 Term Paper

1. Covers a wide variety of job.

2. Is completed easily &quickly

3. Requires a minimal documentation

4. Is quantifiable

5. Is relatively easy & cheap to administer

6. Permits evasive actions to avoid unacceptable confrontations.

DESIGINING A JOB CONTENT- BASED PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL PROGRAM

The job definition now becomes the basis for the performance appraisal rating instrument. The

responsibilities & duties of the job definition become transformed into dimensions & rating

items.

RATING SCALE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

The desired strength of all rating scale techniques are that they

a. be relatively easy to administer

b. translate directly to quantitative terms

c. permits standardization, thus allowing for comparability across various organizational

lines(department, functions, occupations & jobs)

d. Relate to various kinds of qualities or rating items.

Performance Standards

• A performance standard is a criterion used to measure an employee’s performance.

• Setting standards to measure performance is neither new nor unusual.

• A basic performance measurement problem facing all supervisors (raters) is that jobs cannot be

made uniforms; they cannot be made standard.

Performance Standards at a Fully Acceptable Level of Performance

At a fully acceptable level of performance, a performance standard should do the following.

1. Enable the user to differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable results.

2. Present some challenge to the employee.

24

Page 25: Hrm 412 Term Paper

3. Be realistic- that is, it should be attainable by any qualified, proficient, and fully trained

employee who has the necessary authority and resources.

4. Be a statement of the conditions that will exist and that will measure a job activity when it is

performed acceptably, expressed in terms of quantity, quality, time, cost, effect obtained, manner

of performance, or method of doing.

5. Related to or express a time frame for accomplishment.

6. At least be recognizable if not observable.
