2019 - How to Construct Salary Ranges, Administer Increase Budgets and Build Merit Increase Matrices in Today's Economy

OVERVIEW
Let’s be honest. People work for money. The salary budget while often the biggest expense in a company, is to employees a reward system for their work performed in your company and for the skills they bring to the workplace.
Before you get started, keep in mind that adopting a competitive, pay for performance philosophy requires some extra work. Because a merit matrix connects performance to market rate pay. However, in order to differentiate wages based upon the results of your employees, you need to know what you want people to do, be able to sort out how they are performing and, based on that, differentiate their pay. The merit-based, pay-for-performance matrix also serves as a guide for supervisors so that they suggest pay increases that are fair and support business objectives.
The benefit of your extra effort regarding salary benchmarking is that you can drive your funds towards rewarding high-performing employees who may currently be paid less than the market. Because, realistically, salary budgets and increase budgets are determined not only by compensation philosophy and range movements but the actual budget (or not) the employer has.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Compensation decisions are a direct method of communicating with your employees. When your supervisors determine how to construct salary ranges, which employees will get pay increases and how much they deserve; they are making or breaking your business. How? By connecting performance to pay, or not, your managers tell your employees what sort of work ethic, skills, and attitude are rewarded at your company.
A merit-based, pay-for-performance matrix system serves as a guide for supervisors and connects performance to market rate pay. Pay increases are fair, logical and support business objectives.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
It’s a fact of life that most people have to work for money. Even people who love their jobs likely would not perform them for free.
To a company, the salary budget is its biggest expense. However to your employees, it’s a reward system for their work performed in your company and for the skills they bring to the workplace. It is also communicating to your employees what sort of work ethic, skills, and attitude are rewarded at your company.
So when a company determines how pay-for-performance matrix system is structured, including wage rates and for what and how employees will be rewarded, those decisions are critical “make or break” decisions.
Today, every company is a performance based company and as such needs to learn how to use what salary budgets it has for maximum effect on employee performance while still ensuring equity within internal and external components and avoiding compliance problems.
The benefit of your extra effort regarding compensation is that you can drive your funds towards rewarding high-performing employees and send the right messages regarding what your company really rewards.
