INTRODUCTION OF COMPENSATION MANAGEMENT
Compensation Management is an integral part of the management of the
organization. Compensation is a systematic approach to providing monetary
value to employees in exchange for work performed. Compensation may achieve
several purposes assisting in recruitment, job performance, and job satisfaction.
To be effective, the managers must appreciate the value of competitive pay, their
human resources, and have an investment view of payroll costs. It is of prime
importance for an organization to maintain pay levels that attract and retain
quality employees while recognizing the need to manage payroll costs.
The literal meaning of compensation is to counter-balance. In the case of human
resource management, compensation is referred to as money and other
Benefits received by an employee for providing services to his employer. Money
and benefits received may be in different forms-base compensation in money and
various benefits, which may be associated with employee's service to the
employer like provident fund, gratuity, insurance scheme and any other payment
which the employee receives or benefits he enjoys in lieu of such payment.

"Compensation includes direct cash payments, indirect payments in the form of
employee benefits and incentives to motivate employees to strive for higher levels
of productivity
Compensation is a tool used by management for a variety of purposes to further the
existence and growth of the company.
Objectives of Compensation management are:

1.Attracting and Retaining Personnel: From organizations point of view, the
compensation management aims at attracting and retaining right personnel in the
Organization Not only they require persons who are well qualified but they are also
retained in the organization. There is no dirth of personnel at operative levels but
the problems come at the managerial and technical levels
Particularly for growing companies. Not only have they required persons who are
well qualified but they are also retained in the organization. In the present day
context, managerial turnover is a big problem particularly in high knowledgebase
Organizations.

2. Motivating Personnel: Compensation management aims at motivating personnel
for higher productivity. Monetary compensation has its own limitations in
motivating people for superior performance.
3. Optimizing Cost of Compensation: Compensation management aims at optimizing
cost of compensation by establishing some kind of linkage with performance and
compensation.
4. Consistency in Compensation: Compensation management tries to achieve
consistency-both internal and external-in compensating employees. Internal
consistency involves payment on the basis of criticality of jobs and employees'
performance on jobs.

employees in return of the services they provide to the organization.

Basic Salary

Salary is the amount received by the employee in lieu of the work done by him/her
for a certain period say a day, a week, a month, etc. It is the money an employee
receives from his/her employer by rendering his/her services

House Rent Allowance

Organizations either provide accommodations to its employees who are from
different state or country or they provide house rent allowances to its employees.
This is done to provide them social security and motivate them to work.

Conveyance

Organizations provide for cab facilities to their employees. Few organizations also
provide vehicles and petrol allowances to their employees to motivate them.

Leave Travel Allowance

These allowances are provided to retain the best talent in the organization. The
employees are given allowances to visit any place they wish with their families.
The allowances are scaled as per the position of employee in the organization.

Organizations also look after the health conditions of their employees. The
employees are provided with medi-claims for them and their family members.
These medi-claims include health-insurances and treatment bills reimbursements.

Employee benefits and (especially in British English) benefits in kind (also called
fringe benefits, perquisites, perks) are various non-wage compensations provided
to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. Where an employee
exchanges (cash) wages for some other form of benefit, this is generally referred to
as a 'salary sacrifice' arrangement. In most countries, most kinds of employee
benefits are taxable to at least some degree.

employer-paid) housing, group insurance (health, dental, life etc.), income
protection, retirement benefits, daycare, tuition reimbursement, sick leave, vacation
(paid and non-paid), social security, profit sharing, funding of education, and other
specialized benefits

The term perks is often used colloquially to refer to those benefits of a more
discretionary nature. Often, perks are given to employees who are doing notably
well and/or have seniority. Common perks are company cars, hotel stays, free
refreshments, leisure activities on work time (golf, etc.), stationery, allowances for
lunch, andwhen multiple choices existfirst choice of such things as job
assignments and vacation scheduling They may also be given first chance at job
promotions when vacancies exist.

Employee benefits in the United States might include relocation assistance;
medical, prescription, vision and dental plans; health and dependent care flexible
spending accounts; retirement benefit plans (pension, 401(k), 403(b)); group-term
life and long term care insurance plans; legal assistance plans; adoption assistance;
child care benefits; and possibly other miscellaneous employee discounts (e.g.,
movies and theme park tickets, wellness programs, discounted shopping, hotels
and resorts, and so on).

direct pay.

work schedule.

their lives.
