The project is a series of elements where you will examine thecurrent standing of an organization’s compensation system. In the finalelement of the training program, you will provide recommendations tothe organization on how the compensation program can be improved.

Directions

Students will conduct an analysis on the current state of thecompensation system and address the current pay structureused. Reference should be made to job-based and person-based structure.Analysis should reference sources of information for job analysis, jobevaluation, pay design, and pay levels.

The body of the paper will be 4 pages. This does not includeextraneous pages like title page, reference page, appendices. APAformatting standards are required. A minimum of 5 scholarly resourcesneed to be used. An example of a scholarly resource can be an interviewwith an HR professional or a peer reviewed article from aUniversity Library Journal Database. Course materials and personalexperience do not count. A formal third person tone is required.

Supplemental information (e.g. worksheets that are currently beingused) can be presented in Appendices but do not count toward the body ofthe paper.

Note: Recommendations should not be made at this point – you willmake these later in the term. This is an analysis of current standing. Keep inmind however, if an organization doesn’t have a set structure, the paperdoesn’t end at that point. Student needs to include a discussion of thedifferent methods that could be used. Again, recommendations will bemade in later in the term.
